Essay by Eric Worrall

Adam Gottschalk, a freshly minted Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics, lamenting the lack of urgency in addressing climate change.

I start my first job as the world careers and threatens what enriches my life

By Adam Gottschalk FEBRUARY 18, 2024

This essay is about beginning a career at this time, in this climate.

I am 21 years old and a university student. It is 2023, early autumn. I am starting my first office job. It’s a government job: a short-term, part-time internship in the federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (a long name with a clumsy acronym, “DCCEEW”).

DCCEEW is doing important work. My team assists the financial sector to redirect capital towards activities that benefit biodiversity. They call these activities “nature-positive”.

Everyone in my team is positive about nature.
