“Green jobs” are one of the fastest growing sectors for employment globally, projected to grow 8.6% and add 114,300 jobs over the next decade according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Working to preserve the climate and environment is not just for engineers, scientists, and policy professionals. Writers, designers, filmmakers, and creative professionals from all backgrounds have a role to play in the cross-industry effort to restore ecosystems, prevent future degradation, and support adaptation to the effects of climate change.
On August 30th, Grist and Creatives for Climate joined forces to map out the green job landscape and bring insights to how professionals can creatively approach turning their job into a climate career in a live online event featuring Kristy Drutman (Founder of the Green Jobs Board as part of Brown Girl Green), Heather Fipps (Co-Founder The Hollywood Climate Summit), Wes Gobar (Executive Director of BlackOak Collective) Lucy von Sturmer (Chairwoman Creatives for Climate), and Rachel Bouton (Senior Manager, Networks and Events at Grist).
