At every level of government, environmental agencies and their many partners face an unprecedented workforce crisis.
At every level of government, environmental agencies and their many partners face an unprecedented workforce crisis.
Climate impacts, the pace of technology and policy change, and long-standing public sector capacity gaps—all are converging faster than our workforce systems and planners can respond. Those trends also compound other barriers in government, and practitioners across fields and sectors are struggling to help ecosystems and communities adapt. We're building a new kind of skills taxonomy, and other tools, to reverse those trends.
Designed for for partners, innovators, and leaders whose work touches environmental management and stewardship—across the many field, policy, research, governance, training, and technology contexts that work interacts with—our hope is that this framework helps decision-makers move beyond old models and boundaries to build the reimagined workforce we need to deliver better environmental outcomes at scale.
