Below is the full outline for the "Global Environmental Careers" book.
Global Environmental Careers – A New Book and Online Resource from Wiley
Wiley are seeking contributors and supporters for a global environmental careers book and ebook and online resource which are being developed by environmental professional Justin Taberham www.justintaberham.com .
The book ‘Global Careers in Environmental Science – the Worldwide Green Jobs Resource’ will be a practical guide to increase your chances of developing a successful career within the global environment sector, wherever you are based and want to work.
There are very few books that cover the key opportunities in and profiles of the environment sector including the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Pacific Rim, Middle East and Africa. To bring all these into one resource is immensely valuable. As the global environment sector is maturing and changing at a rapid pace, there is a need for an up to date comprehensive resource in this area with online resources to back it up and provide updates.
The book and linked website www.env.careers will be a ‘one stop shop’ resource that all school and university libraries and careers services should have available. They will be immensely valuable in guiding people through the myriad legislation, challenges and opportunities of working in the global environment sector.

Why should an organisation support the Global Environmental Careers resource?
Book Outline
Each sector will be covered using a standard format. This will be helpful to readers, as they will be able to get to the needed information quickly and the content will be succinct and precise. Generally, books on environmental careers tend to be very wordy and discuss irrelevant issues for a job seeker, or they miss out the most helpful information. This book will be straight to the point and present the information clearly and precisely.
There will also be introductory chapters covering: the developing global sector and the opportunities this offers; hot topics and the fastest growing sectors; an introduction to green employment issues globally and the issue of career change into the environment sector.
Provisional sector chapters include:

Readership
Readership will include anyone worldwide with an interest in developing a career in the environment sector (students, undergraduates, career-changers), university and school careers services and libraries, major organisations that are asked for careers information, trade and professional body organisations in the environment sector.
This is very much a ‘go anywhere’ title because it will prove valuable to people at all career stages.
Content could be made into custom brochures for larger organisations to use in response to requests for careers information and openings.
