- Environmental Consultants: To provide informed advice to clients and help them achieve sustainable operations.
- Public Policy Experts: To influence policy-making processes and advocate for necessary adjustments benefiting the public good.
Recent Trends and Impacts
Over recent years, there has been a significant shift towards renewable energy and sustainable practices. The federal government frequently updates its policies to reflect these changes, necessitating constant vigilance from stakeholders.
