The role
What a climate resilience planner actually does, day to day.
As a Climate Resilience Planner, you help communities get ready for climate challenges - heavy flooding, extreme heat, damage to nature. You study maps, weather data and local information to work out which areas are most at risk. Then you work with councils, businesses and local groups to design and plan solutions - maybe planting trees to stop flooding, redesigning streets so they don't get too hot, or building better water systems.
Your work mixes desk research with time in the community. You might spend a morning analysing climate data and maps, then the afternoon at a local meeting explaining risks and listening to what people worry about. You write plans, give presentations to decision-makers, and keep checking whether the solutions are actually working. It's a job where you can see real results - a safer town, less flooding, cleaner air.
