As our nation increasingly acknowledges the reality of climate change, we are also more willing to start taking action. This means that investments into both climate mitigation and climate adaptation are starting to fuel a growth in jobs in the “climate sector”. Working with American Society of Adaptation Professionals, the Collider and UNCA’s NEMAC+FernLeaf will share some data, trends and possible future trajectories. From this information, better personal and network decisions can be made about current and future career choices.
