Social Science Careers in Climate Action

Climate action needs more than great science, it needs people who understand how communities, institutions, and policy actually change. The Climate Action Lab in UC San Diego’s School of Social Sciences spotlights alumni building climate careers across sustainability, climate, and public policy. Panelists trace the paths that led them into the field, share how social science training helped them navigate real-world climate work, and offer practical lessons they’ve learned along the way. Expect candid career advice, an honest look at challenges in climate-related roles, and a clear case for why the social sciences are essential to addressing climate change.
