Climate transition plans are driven by requirements and regulations, stakeholder interest in transparency, and to meet Oshkosh’s public commitments and achieve its GHG reduction targets. The Intern will research published climate transition plans from other organizations and consider what is applicable to our organization. In addition, analyze utility company commitments to green the grid and the reduction of emissions over what period they have made public commitments to achieve.

The assessment will leverage numerical data to evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on a specific area, providing a measurable estimate of the likelihood and severity of current and future climate risks. The Intern using third party tools (OS-Climate, World Resources Institute, IPCC etc.) will review Oshkosh manufacturing locations and characteristics of assets or infrastructure potentially affected by climate hazards. Project will result in Oshkosh being able to advance public disclosures and meet regulatory requirements.
