Why is climate not here?
Not because we think climate change does not matter. It is not here because in the Netherlands it is not neglected: a great deal of money, talent and political attention already goes to it. That is good news. The problems on this board do not have that attention, which is exactly why we single them out.
Which climate work is genuinely underrated remains a good question — and a separate one. Effective Environmentalism takes it seriously and has research and a community around it. That is a better place to start than a handful of employers here would have been.
What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
