Episode 15. Neil Yeoh on Building a Practical Path into Climate Work
Description
Today’s guest is Neil Yeoh, a sustainability leader, entrepreneur, and educator who's dedicated to accelerating climate solutions across industries.
Neil is the founder and CEO of a sustainability consulting company called OnePointFive. He also started OnePointFive Academy, which is a hands-on training program helping people from all backgrounds break into impactful climate careers.
But Neil didn’t start in this space. He actually began his career in oil and gas. He gradually became disillusioned and was looking for a change.
He began volunteering for a non-profit in the evening and went on to earn a master’s degree in Environmental Management. Over time, he shifted his career towards climate work.
Since then, he’s consulted for companies globally, published articles through Forbes and the World Economic Forum, and shared powerful insights on the skills needed to drive real sustainability progress.
Through his OnePointFive Academy, Neil has helped hundreds of fellows learn technical skills like carbon accounting, lifecycle analysis, and decarbonization strategy. His approach is grounded in the belief that anyone, no matter where they come from or what field they’re in, can have a real positive impact through their work.
This episode is full of insights on how to carve your own path in sustainability. Whether you’re looking to get into this work or already in a sustainability role, I think you’ll really enjoy it.
