Your job is the most powerful climate tool you have. Why? Because business is a massive contributor to the climate crisis – and forcing change from within our workplaces is the best chance we have of maintaining a liveable planet. That’s why we’ve created the WorkforClimate Climate Leadership Playbook: a free, research-based guide, designed to empower employees with the strategies and stories to take action and actually shift their company’s approach to climate.
Time is up, but employees have the power
2024 was officially the hottest year on record, yet still far too many companies are either backsliding on climate commitments or falling silent when we need them most. There is simply no time left for backwards steps. That’s where you come in.
We know that many employees want to push for climate action at work, but simply don’t know where to start, or feel like they don’t have enough influence to make a real difference. The fact is, employees have more power than ever. Workforce pressure has already driven companies like Amazon and Microsoft to accelerate sustainability efforts, with over half of C-suite executives admitting that employee activism has influenced their company’s climate strategy.
Everything you need to start taking climate action, today
The playbook is like a condensed overview of the leadership content presented in the WorkforClimate Academy – which is designed by leading experts in sustainability, systems change, employee activism and corporate leadership. We also reference research from organisations like Forum for the Future and System Shift, as well as real-world case studies of employee-led climate action.
In it you will find: your climate leadership archetype; the key areas of focus for corporates to have a positive climate impact; strategies for navigating power dynamics and influencing leaders; andhow to overcome resistance and advice from some of the most influential workplace climate activists of our time – including former Amazon, Pinterest and Microsoft employees.
The case studies included are gold-standard examples of climate leadership across different industries, each featuring a range of strategies and tactics. Some employees have worked closely with leadership, while others have built grassroots movements or taken more disruptive action. These stories prove that there’s no one way to make an impact. What matters is finding the right approach for your context and company.
Anyone, anywhere
No prior experience needed! Whether you’re just waking up to climate action at work or already leading sustainability projects, there’s something here for you. If you’re fired up about making a difference but unsure how to navigate corporate structures, this playbook is your guide.
“You’re not powerless,” says WorkforClimate’s Head of Engagement and playbook co-author, Katelyn Prendiville. “You don’t have to wait for permission to start driving change inside your company. This is a roadmap to take action: whether that means influencing leadership, rallying coworkers, or using your company’s own commitments to push for stronger policies.”
It costs nothing
