On July 26, Akshat Rathi started a twitter feed inviting stories about people changing their jobs to fight climate change.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the number of stories keeps rising. Though quitting to transition to a career is only one part; the other side is the rising number of climate intra-preneurs, pushing on their firms, their organisations, to be climate forward, sustainability forward, green forward.
Below you can find a selection of the stories, and far from all of them.
