If you work as a marketing assistant, can you contribute to improving the climate with your job? Yes.
What if you’re a financial advisor? Also yes.
How about HR teams, government employees, lawyers, recruiters, and sales people?
Yep, and not only can you improve it, there are guides on exactly how to do that, which even explain why your role is needed in addressing climate issues.
Here’s an excerpt from the “Marketing” guide:
If you work in production, make sure your marketing campaigns and events are low-carbon and circular (e.g., minimise flights, which can often comprise the majority of production emissions; avoid buying new; and source energy from renewables).
That advice can apply to many job functions, and is a small example of how clear-cut the steps can be (note, I didn’t say easy…).
Very soon, every role will be a climate role… probably within the next 10 years.
These resources are free, they show you how to do positive work with what you’re already doing, and start future-proofing you for what’s ahead.
For self-employed creatives, normal business traps are easy to fall into and overcomplicate things - but they’re totally avoidable when flying solo.
