Climate Solutions' mission is to accelerate practical and profitable solutions to global warming by
galvanizing leadership, growing investment and bridging divides in the Pacific Northwest. Since our
founding in 1998, Climate Solutions has emerged as one of the most effective, accomplished
climate groups in the nation. In partnerships with an extraordinarily wide array of business, farm,
government, and civic interests, Climate Solutions is building a new, sustainable prosperity in the
region by building the technologies, policies, and enterprises that can deliver climate solutions to
the world. Climate Solutions is a $2.1 million/year and growing operation with offices in Seattle,
Olympia, Portland, and Montana. For more information about Climate Solutions, visit

Climate Solutions has launched a new effort called Business Leaders for Climate Solutions (BLCS) to
bring together executives, entrepreneurs and investors from around the Northwest who are
committed to strong action to reduce global warming pollution and regional leadership in the
transition to a clean and energy efficient economy. The program was started to organize vital
support in the business community for the public policy changes needed to address climate change.
To date, we have recruited nearly 1000 business leaders in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana, many of whom have become actively involved in advocating for strong public policies;
written editorials in support of climate change policy for leading papers; and met with federal and
state elected officials.
Climate Solutions is seeking an outgoing, energetic, self-motivated and outcome-oriented
individual to help catalyze our BLCS Program. This internship is an unpaid and is designed to help us
to bring BLCS to scale and train future leaders on critical skills. The Business Partnerships Intern
will support a broad variety of activities relating to the BLCS program.
The work completed will be based in Seattle over the summer of 2011 (exact dates are flexible),
with potential for continuing the internship through the fall as part of academic work. The
Business Partnerships Intern will report to our Seattle-based Senior Advisor for Business
Partnerships, Ross Macfarlane, and will collaborate with our Business Partnerships Associate, Chris
Bast
