1. Determine what facets of sustainability interest you. If unsure, refer to the 17 UN Sustainable Dev Goals (SDGs).
2. Investigate (google) trends in those areas, the leading organizations (government, non-profit, start-ups, large companies), as well as top in-demand skills
3. Search for job descriptions. Find those you’re potentially somewhat qualified for. Apply. Network to get referrals.
Consider diving into areas where your existing sector expertise might be valued. Or any other way to differentiate yourself vs an average straight-out-of-college person competing for the same jobs. Eg if you worked in architecture, look into green building technologies.
Once you’re almost done the masters that’ll help.

All jobs are climate jobs. Think about the role your current company has in the economy and start there: work on building your skill set at your current role - do a GHG inventory, start a materiality assessment, learn about the relevant standards and frameworks, see which people in your org are willing to get started.
This will give you marketable skills you can use to get a job you actually want down the rod
Have you looked at internships or fellowship? Even a short experience can help you get a foot in the door

Too many « sustainability experts » stay on the soft side and fail to convince executives and other important stakeholders due to lack of knowledge of the figures (how to interpret them, how to navigate the inherent uncertainty associated with sustainability). These skills will take you far
