As you’ll see, on page 23 of the secondary schools’ activity pack our activity focuses on careers in climate change.
Did you know that as climate change is escalating, the demand for careers that are helping to fight it is also increasing? Many universities now offer degrees in environmental sciences and many career routes now include options to help protect the environment.
In the activity you’ll find out more about jobs in the environmental sector that you might want to explore further, from engineering in the renewable energy sector to sustainability management.
