This summer, the Climate Action Business Association will be working with Greenovate on the Businesses Acting on Rising Seas (BARS) Campaign.

They are currently looking for candidates willing to be part of their team, working with businesses, politicians, and grass-root leaders to conduct outreach. The internship will last 10 weeks and the program will give participants a chance to work in depth on corporate sustainability and resiliency planning, build public engagement skills, and the to be part of a quickly growing field of hyper-­driven peers.

CABA is working alongside Greenovate to inform all Bostonians of climate risks the City faces — like intensifying storms and rising sea levels — and will use the latest projections from our Climate Ready Boston project.
