Remote green jobs list

Hey,

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising!

If you’ve ever searched for remote roles in the green economy, you already know they’re rare. 

But they do exist; and this is a quick guided scan to help you find them faster.

1. Search terms that unlock remote listings

Instead of typing “climate job,” try:

• Remote terms: home-based, remote (global), distributed, virtual, telecommute

• Contract terms (where most remote work sits): consultant, individual contractor, retainer, on-call, roster/talent pool, framework agreements

2. Places to check regularly

• Green Jobs Rising job board

• ReliefWeb: filter for Remote or Roster roles under Environment / Climate

• UNjobs: search ‘home-based’

• UNDP and UNOPS: watch for retainer and roster contracts 

3. Organisations to keep tabs on 

• UN agencies: UNDP, UNOPS, UNEP, FAO, UN-Habitat

• Climate finance: GCF, GEF, Adaptation Fund

• Development finance institutions: World Bank, IFC, AfDB

• Big implementers (often via rosters): Palladium, Chemonics, Tetra Tech, DAI, ICF, GIZ
