Job opportunities in environment and development

The environmental and development sectors offer a diverse range of career opportunities, from conservation and climate policy to community development and sustainability initiatives. Whether you’re starting out, changing careers, or looking to advance, the internet provides a wealth of resources to help you find job openings, explore volunteering opportunities, and plan for international roles. This page brings together key links to job boards, NGOs, aid agencies, and consulting firms in the fields of environment and development.

For those considering international opportunities, there are also useful resources to help with relocation, cultural transitions, and working abroad. Transitions Abroad provides the alternative travel community access to the information essential to successful international experiences. The Expat Exchange is yet another good site for this sort of information. Sojourners to another country: The psychological roller-coaster of cultural transitions is an interesting article in which Nan Sussman explores the psychological aspects of the cultural transition cycle experienced by the sojourner.

If you’re still exploring career paths, you may also find inspiration in guides like the University of Oxford’s introduction to international development careers and George Monbiot’s old, but thought provoking post – Choose life!
