Climate Resilience Planner
Climate resilience planners help communities prepare for floods, heatwaves and other effects of climate change. They study the risks where they live, then work with local councils and people to build safer neighbourhoods and protect the environment. It's practical work that protects real communities.
This job holds up well against AI
AI cannot yet do much of what this job actually involves, and the law requires human oversight. That human could be you. That is about as safe as careers get right now, though it is still worth learning to use the tools well.
