EDF Climate Corps & Local Governments – co-hosted with ICLEI USA

When? 2:00 pm ET

Learn how an Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Climate Corps fellow can help your team move climate and sustainability projects forward.

EDF Climate Corps matches sustainability teams with graduate students for summer fellowships. Fellows take on projects that build staff capacity, uncover cost savings, and support climate goals without requiring extensive supervision.

Join us to hear from past public sector hosts, Milwaukee County and the City of Austin, about their experiences working with Climate Corps fellows.

What You’ll Learn

▪️ How the fellowship works and how a fellow can support your team.
▪️ The types of projects fellows take on, including climate action planning, stakeholder engagement, and energy audits.
▪️ Lessons from public sector hosts to help you consider whether the program fits your needs.

Who Should Attend

Local government and other public sector staff working on climate, sustainability, energy, and related initiatives are encouraged to attend. Whether you are considering hosting a fellow next summer or exploring options for the future, this session is an opportunity to learn more.
