Anyone else afraid for their job right now in wake of the US election? I’m afraid to even apply to sustainability/climate positions because I don’t know how long until they’ll last until layoffs.

No. There are still international regs driving global companies to make progress, and continued increases customer demands.

No. Would recommend being in a company that is subject to EU regulation or has a culture of sustainability regardless of policy. Also, get training on things like reporting if you don’t have that bc it is a skill that is super important right now.

like

I always try to frame sustainability/climate work as a value driver, e.g framing my skills, experience, accomplishments, and professional purpose as opening up new markets and helping to withstand increasing scrutiny- regardless of how the regs evolve. Hang in there and keep doing the good work!! Solidarity!
