GCC Climate Fellow: Adaptation Program The Adaptation Climate Fellow will support our work on a variety of cutting-edge projects analyzing and identifying best practices for how state and local governments are preparing for the impacts of climate change (e.g., sea-level rise, managed retreat, extreme heat, and equitable approaches to adaptation, among other topics). The Climate Fellow will work with GCC staff to conduct research, legal and policy analysis, and writing related to GCC's federal, state, and local resilience work. This includes GCC's place-based work helping states and communities develop climate-informed policies and planning processes, and federal policy developments that affect states and communities. The Climate Fellow will also research and write resource summaries and case studies of states and communities implementing innovative best practices to be included in GCC's online toolkits, Adaptation Clearinghouse, and State and Local Adaptation Progress Tracker.

GCC Climate Fellow: Mitigation Program The Mitigation Climate Fellow will support GCC’s work with senior state and federal officials working to advance new federal policies and regulations that will result in equitable strategies for achieving meaningful greenhouse gas emission reductions. This will include conducting timely analysis and supporting facilitation of discussions among government officials implementing federal legislation and initiatives, including the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Justice 40. Fellows provide research and analysis that supports the development of well-informed, equitable policymaking. Currently, GCC is working with federal agency staff; state energy and environment agency officials across the country; and leading academic and policy experts to explore opportunities to reduce emissions from the electric power and transportation sectors. The Climate Fellow will work with Climate Center staff to conduct legal and policy analysis related to this work. Read the full description and learn how to apply on the GCC website.
