CrossFit during COVID-19
Grace Pritchett· May 1, 2020 ·0 Comments·4 mins read
These photos were taken and intended for the FIT special section which was due to be released in early March for the College Heights Herald but was not printed due to COVID-19. These photos have been repurposed for this article, which was produced by Cherry Creative.
CrossFit, a fitness program that combines metabolic conditioning, strength training and gymnastics, has become more popular in recent years after being founded in 2000. CrossFit affiliates have grown, spreading the community-focused, inclusive gyms across the country, including CrossFit Old School in Bowling Green.
According to CrossFit's main website, the program is designed for people of all fitness levels. This is not lost on many, including Bowling Green native Junior Morgan. Morgan has Down syndrome and found a welcoming community at CrossFit Old School.
"It's really the first place outside of the Down Syndrome community that has never looked at him as having a disability," his mother, Cathy Morgan, said in a text message "They focus on his ability, and he is treated just like every athlete there."
Due to COVID-19, CrossFitters have found new ways to stay motivated and workout, whether that's by simply running, completing a workout challenge on Facebook, or flipping old railroad ties.
WKU photojournalism professor Jeanie Adams-Smith grew up in Bowling Green and was a competitive swimmer and captain of her team in high school. About eight years ago, Adams-Smith tried CrossFit out for the first time, and she never looked back.
"I had been kind of looking for something; I didn't want a traditional gym" Adams-Smith said., "I liked the camaraderie that you got there and that everybody's doing the same workout."
Since then, Adams-Smith has become a CrossFit coach, completing her level one CrossFit coaching certification about two years ago. Due to the changes brought on by COVID-19, Adams-Smith has been working out from home, going on runs and working out in the CrossFit gym by herself. While she's still able to get her workouts in, Adams-Smith says it's definitely different.
"You know you kind of have to dig deep and find self-motivation to work out," Adams-Smith said. "People on Facebook have been challenging each other to do workouts. You still kind of get that camaraderie, it's just not in person."
Bedford senior Rebecca Moll has been a part of the CrossFit Old School community since her freshman year at WKU in 2016. Since all CrossFit activities have moved online, Moll said she misses the people more than the workouts.
"The workouts are fine, but the workouts are better when you get to be suffering together and you kind of have other people that you get to be competitive with rather than just yourself," Moll said.
Moll has been keeping up with fitness, though not as consistently, and even turning to her least favorite CrossFit activity — running — since she has not been able to go to the gym or attend online class sessions.
"I really hate running," Moll said, "Like I hate it with a passion. I really dislike it, but I've been running more. Kind of trying to get better, kind of trying just to get some kind of cardio or moving."
Junior Morgan has been attending CrossFit Old School for about six years. With the help of the videoconferencing tool Zoom, Morgan still attends a daily workout with head coach Erin Richter, including a Sip and Stretch rest class on Wednesdays. Morgan's mother, Cathy Morgan said that those days are dedicated to talking and socializing with the other athlete attendees.
"I help him the rest of the week, but I let him enjoy his friends without me being a helicopter mom" Cathy Morgan said.
Overall, despite the at-home format of the classes, everything about his workouts have been the same, especially since Richter created a system to let CrossFitters check out two pieces of equipment from the gym. That being said, Cathy said Junior still "really misses the people there."
Aaron Clark said he loved CrossFit from the very first class he took in 2015, especially because of the physical challenge.
"I love being around the people, but at the same time I think the most that I enjoy out of it is knowing what my body can do compared to what I used to be able to do" Clark said.
Since CrossFit Old School stopped in-person classes due to COVID-19, Clark was able to set up a mat with some dumbbells and railroad track wooden boards as part of a makeshift gym at work with a friend. He also uses the ceiling joints for pull-ups.
"We've worked out everyday, and we've just found like the weirdest things to do" Clark said, "If you've got a creative mind, you can use it to work out."
Looking ahead, with the future of the gym and his friends unknown, Clark said he's trying to stay positive.
"It sucks not seeing everybody, but I try not to think of it like that," Clark said. "Like hopefully nobody gets seriously sick and I never see them again.I just think I'll just see them later,you know, and when we see each other, it'll be that much sweeter."

San Diego Botanic Garden is a 35-acre paradise of garden trails featuring flowering trees, plants from all climates around the world desert to tropical, and the world's largest collection of bamboo. San Diego Botanic Garden originally began as the private estate of Charles and Ruth Larabee and was known as the Quail Botanical Gardens.
Their humble home was nestled on 30 acres which they landscaped with the exotic plants and trees collected as they traveled the world.
The original plantings at the garden were diverse and featured cork oaks, palms, aloes, cacti, hibiscus, and subtropical fruit-bearing shrubs and trees collected south of the equator.
The Larabee's were active Boy Scout leaders and used their estate as an opportunity to educate their troops about nature. Continuing with their lifelong dedication to teaching, in 1957 Mrs. Larabee donated her residence and land to San Diego County. To preserve the legacy, a foundation was established and opened the gardens in 1971.
After county support waned in the early 1990's, a group of private supporters bought control of the estate. The non-profit was established to "actively participate in the conservation of rare and, to serve the botanical and horticultural needs of San Diego County, and to exist as an urban retreat".
The four-mile trail is divided into 24 separate gardens by climate. You will witness one of the world's most diverse collections of plants. As you walk through canyons and hillsides, observing the habitats, many hidden nooks offer a chance to sit and relax.
Escape to any place in the world through the New and Old World Desert Gardens, a Tropical rainforest, California native plants, and an Undersea Succulent Garden, the Subtropical Fruit Garden or Mediterranean climate landscapes.
Kids of all ages will love the activities, which rotate by season. Be sure to check out the Hamilton Children's Garden, the largest interactive garden on the West Coast.
"Seeds of Wonder" is a collection of events aimed at toddlers and children. Events feature songs, crafts and playing at the Seeds of Wonder Children's Garden.
The gift shop and nursery are open daily until 4:00 pm. Gifts include traditional tourist items, as well as unique handmade offerings fitting a botanical theme, as well as bamboo sticks and books. Many of the plants in the nursery are grown on site by volunteers or purchased from local growers.
The inventory is dependent upon seasonal cultivation. You will find California native plants, dragon trees, succulents, and decorative plantings.
Weddings can be hosted, the Victorian Gazebo near the entrance can accommodate up to 300 people while the Walled Garden is a more intimate location for up to 100 guests. The Waterfall View Deck is the most secluded area and overlooks a three-story waterfall, surrounded by plants. It's perfect for a small ceremony and photo opportunities.
Garden Hours are 9 am to 5 pm daily.
Docent-led tours are offered on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. Groups must schedule tours 30 days before their visit.
The garden is located at 230 Quail Gardens Dr, Encinitas, CA 92024. Free admission on the first Tuesday of every month. (San Diego County residents) There is a $2 parking fee, so not quite free but almost. Current admission price can be found at the Garden's website.

Public Sector Pensions Update – January 2020
Written on 21 Jan 2020
Welcome to the latest edition of our Public Sector Pensions Update.
This edition focuses on announcements made in the December 2019 Queen's Speech and in relation to the March Budget. It also contains an update on the McCloud case and on a series of other decisions affecting public sector pension schemes.
If you would like to discuss any of the developments in this newsletter, please contact one of the experts listed below.
Update | The McCloud case
The December 2019 edition of the Firefighters' Pension Schemes newsletter contains a link to two documents, a Home Office factsheet and a Fire & Rescue Services National Employers (FRSNE) circular, giving updates on the McCloud case. The updates follow an interim order on remedy on 18 December 2019 relating to the Firefighters' Pension Schemes.
According to the FRSNE circular, the interim order is only binding in the period pending the final determination of all of the remedy issues, and in that interim period claimants are entitled to be treated as if they remained in the 1992 Fire Pension Scheme. It is anticipated that the final determination in regards to membership of the 1992 scheme should be resolved around mid-July 2020 and following that it may be some time before this part of the remedy can be put into effect for all claimants. There may be other remedy issues to be resolved including in respect of claims for injury to feelings.
In the meantime, the FRSNE is pushing Home Office to release guidance on a number of issues including ill-health retirements, backdated employee contributions, taper members tapering into the 1992 scheme from 21 January 2020, and immediate normal retirements from age 50 with over 25 years of service.
The Home Office circular provides more general comment, including that many non-claimants who did not benefit from the transitional protection, which led to the McCloud discrimination ruling in favour of claimants, may in fact be better off in the new career average arrangements and would suffer a detriment if they moved back to the old schemes. The government therefore intends to allow these people to keep the benefits they have accrued. This will mean that it will take some time to make the required changes to public service pension schemes.
Queen's Speech | Stopping boycotts by public institutions
On 19 December 2019, Her Majesty delivered a second Queen's Speech in less than three months. The background briefing notes for the speech confirmed that, in line with its manifesto pledge, the newly elected Conservative government intends to "stop public institutions from imposing their own approach or views about international relations, through preventing boycotts, divestment or sanctions campaigns against foreign countries and those who trade with them".
The briefing notes say that "further details on the extent and application of the policy will be published in due course". However, the fact that they refer to "investment decisions" and to "previously issued local government pension guidance" suggests the government intends the new policy to apply to the Local Government Pension Scheme. The fact that the briefing notes list a bar on public bodies engaging in boycotts as a legislative brief also suggests that the government intends to introduce the ban through legislation.
At the moment, we are waiting for the Supreme Court's decision in R (on the application of Palestine Solidarity Campaign Ltd and another) v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. The Supreme Court heard a final appeal on 20 November 2019. However, even if it rules that the original Local Government Pension Scheme investment guidance (which precluded "boycotts, divestment and sanctions against foreign nations and UK defence industries") was unlawful, the government should be able to sidestep this by introducing new legislation.
Queen's speech | Pension Schemes Bill
The same background briefing notes confirmed that the government would bring forward a new Pension Schemes Bill to cover the same matters as the Bill we discuss in our October 2019 update and Insight. The Bill has now been republished, with some amendments.
March Budget | Annual and lifetime allowance
In our December 2019 update, we reported that the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care had agreed a temporary annual allowance solution with NHS England to try and protect patient care over this winter.
On 7 January 2020, the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirmed that the next Budget would take place on 11 March 2020. The Conservative party's election manifesto contained a number of pledges relating to pensions, including a pledge to urgently address the tapered annual allowance problem in doctors' pensions. The NHS, and many other public and private sector employers, will be waiting to hear whether the government announces a specific policy proposal to address the impact of the tapered annual allowance on senior clinicians and or a wider review of the annual and lifetime allowances.
TUPE | Application to workers and agency workers
The Employment Tribunal has handed down a decision suggesting that TUPE should be interpreted as protecting 'workers' and not just employees. Our Insight considers the decision in Dewhurst and others v Revisecatch Ltd and another, which could have significant implications in relation to outsourcing, in more detail.
The application of TUPE to occupational pension scheme rights, including in public service pension schemes, is complicated. With the exception of some early retirement rights (especially enhanced ones arising on redundancy), they are not, generally speaking, protected by TUPE. As a result of this, employees transferring from a public service employment may be eligible for protection under Fair Deal 2013 or the Best Value Authorities Staff Transfers (Pensions) Direction 2007 (the direction is currently under review by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government).
The Employment Tribunal's decision is only likely to affect limited cases where public service employees have been employed as workers or agency workers and in those cases we recommend that specialist legal advice is taken before proceeding with staff transfers in order to understand how pension rights are protected including in some cases a requirement to provide a defined contribution arrangement.
Judicial Pensions | Time limit for part-time worker claim
On 16 December 2019, the Supreme Court handed down its judgment in Miller (and others) v Ministry of Justice on the question of when time starts to run for a claim by a fee-paid part-time judge to a pension under the Part-time Workers' Directive, as applied by the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000. The judgment looks to be specific to judicial pensions, but could be relevant in other cases if similar features are present.
Pensions Ombudsman | Ill health and widows' pensions
The Pensions Ombudsman has issued three recent decisions of interest relating to public sector pension schemes. In the first, the Pensions Ombudsman considered a complaint by a widow who was told that her Teachers' Pension Scheme widow's pension would be reduced if she lived with a new partner but was not told that, if that relationship came to an end, it would only be possible for the pension to be reinstated if she was suffering financial hardship. The Ombudsman rejected the complaint but commented that it "would have been helpful" if Teachers' Pensions had confirmed this point.
In the second, the Pensions Ombudsman upheld a complaint by a member of the NHS Pension Scheme who had applied for an ill health pension when her employment was terminated and was later told that she could not appeal the decision not to grant that pension because she had since applied for and started to receive a deferred member's pension.
In the third, the Pensions Ombudsman considered questions around conflicting medical evidence in a case where a member of the Local Government Pension Scheme wished to be considered for ill health early retirement.
House of Commons Library briefing papers | New and updated
The House of Commons library has published several new or updated briefing papers relating to public sector pension schemes:
Public service pensions - facts and figures
Public service pensions - the 2015 reforms
Public service pension age - 2015 onwards
Pension tax rules - impact on NHS consultants and GPs

EPL: Manchester United beat Liverpool to the Top Spot
@tomlee
Sports Talk Social
It saddens me to see that my favourite team, Liverpool FC have been relegated to the second position on the English Premier table after Manchester United defeated Burnley by just a lone goal from Paul Pogba in the second half of the game. The Red Devils as they're fondly called are now three points clear from Liverpool FC. The league is just getting really interesting if you ask me because we are going to see lots of energy from the title contenders.
Jurgen Klopp and his boys had the opportunity to keep a large margin on the top spot but they failed in maximizing the losses of the other big names like Manchester United. Liverpool have been on the top for weeks until they began losing form and composure which eventually led to their losing to Southampton in their last EPL fixtures as well playing a tie with Crystal Palace..
Surprisingly, this poor performances are in a time where majority of the injured players are now in action like Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho, Oxlade Chamberlain and others. Jurgen Klopp in recent outings have been reacting a bit too aggressively on the decisions of the referee and this some feels is not good for the team; he was even being shown a yellow of recent. Yes! Some decisions and "overlookings" of referees could be so annoying to the manager but they're other professional ways to express that.
Manchester United may be seated at the first position but that doesn't mean they have won the league trophy. It is just temporarily and for them to remain there, they really need to build momentum. However, Liverpool FC are still closely contending for the title. The likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal are also pressing forward to win the trophy.
So, in the end, only one team will take the trophy home and I hope it's Liverpool FC.

I am afraid that it will only be a temporary top spot for Manchester United, but even though I have never really liked the team, I really want Solskjaer to have success in his job as coach for the team, so I think I'll cheer for them (and not for Liverpool) this season!
The best team will win. Let's watch and see who that would be

Jordan was in several TV-movies and miniseries in the 1970s and gave a gripping performance as Albert Speer in the TV-movie movie "The Bunker" (1981). He played his last TV role in the movie "Are You Lonesome Tonight" (1992). Very shortly before he died, Jordan completed work on the earnest feature epic, "Gettysburg" (1993), which showcased his sizable, stalwart talent as Brigadier General Armistead, who died doing battle with Union forces.

BOSTON – (February 14, 2017) – Joslin Diabetes Center will take part in two clinical trials this year to test artificial pancreas systems designed to automatically monitor and regulate blood glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes, which would replace traditional methods of managing the disease such as testing blood glucose levels by finger stick or using continuous glucose monitoring systems with separate, non-integrated delivery of insulin by either injections or a pump.
Lori Laffel, M.D., M.P.H., Chief of the Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Section at Joslin Diabetes Center and Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
Lori Laffel, MD, MPH, Chief of the Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Section at Joslin Diabetes Center, is Principal Investigator at the Joslin site for the trials, which are among four major research efforts being funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to test and refine artificial pancreas systems. If successful, the trials could lead to applications for regulatory approval for use of the devices by people with type 1 diabetes, helping to improve glucose control and reduce the burden of diabetes self-management.
Joslin is a site for the International Diabetes Closed-Loop Trial being led by the University of Virginia in Charlottesville (UVA). The trial will provide clinical results of an automated insulin delivery system that features a reconfigured smartphone running advanced algorithms that link wirelessly to a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump that the patient wears, as well as a remote-monitoring site, aimed at keeping blood glucose levels in range.
In addition, Joslin will be a site for a trial later this year that will compare a hybrid model of an artificial pancreas approved in September 2016 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to a next-generation system. One hundred adolescents and young adults (ages 14-30) will test each system for three months during the trial, which will be led by the International Diabetes Center in Minneapolis and the Schneider Medical Center in Israel.
The trials are funded under NIH grant numbers DK108483 and DK108611.

Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland
£6.4 million boost for employers to support disabled people
New online service will give employers the tools they need to empower and encourage disabled employees and those with health conditions.
Drive to create more inclusive work environments and equip employers with advice on how people from all backgrounds can thrive at work and grow the economy
Businesses and disability groups invited to test and shape new service which supports employers to employ more diverse and inclusive workforces
Thousands of businesses across the UK will benefit from a new £6.4 million online service to help employers better support disabled people and those with health conditions in the workplace.
The early test version of the Support with Employee Health and Disability service provides essential information about supporting and managing employees with disabilities or health conditions at work.
Any employer can access the service, which provides free advice on how to manage staff who may be in or out of work with a disability or long-term health condition in a user-friendly online Q&A format.
The service is aimed at smaller businesses, many of which do not have in-house HR support or access to an occupational health service and will help them to build more diverse and inclusive workforces.
The new service also covers potential changes an employer could make to help them return to and stay in work, supporting a government drive to boost numbers of people in employment and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to benefit from being in work.
Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Claire Coutinho yesterday said:
Since 2017 we have seen one million more disabled people in work, beating our target by five years. Now we want to go even further by giving more employers the tools and information they need to ensure disabled people and those with health conditions can succeed in the workplace.
As the new Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, there is no end to my ambition to build on the success of the Department by making sure disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else to start, stay and succeed in work.
UK Government Minister for Scotland David Duguid yesterday said:
This will be a really valuable service for employers to help disabled people and those with health conditions start, stay and succeed in work. I encourage businesses across Scotland to use the UK Government backed online system and create more inclusive work environments.
The site is currently in test mode, with businesses and disability groups invited to have their say through a short online survey, to help shape the future of the service.
The site will be constantly updated and improved over the next three years, informed by feedback given from the survey
The service has been designed to give employers easy access to the advice they need to create the best environments for their staff with disabilities or long-term health issues, so that anyone from any background can start, stay and succeed in work.
Once fully developed, the service will also help employers understand their legal obligations, including how to make adjustments for disabled people and those with health conditions.
Over the next three years, the government will invest £1.3 billion in employment support for disabled people and people with health conditions. This money will go towards building up existing provision, including expanding employment support, to grow the economy and help people with the cost of living.
The new online service is a direct response to the government's 2019 consultation, 'Health is everyone's business', in which employers asked for joined-up advice on supporting health in the workplace that is easier to find and act upon.
The Support with Employee Health and Disability service is available online here - Support with employee health and disability – GOV.UK (dwp.gov.uk)
The website is the first public version of the service and is part of an almost £6.5 million (£6.428 million) programme of work to help employers support and manage employees with disabilities or health conditions.
The latest figures show the number of disabled people in employment has increased by 1.3 million since 2017, delivering on a government goal to see one million more in work by 2027.
The 10-year employment goal was a government manifesto commitment originally set in 2017 to break down barriers for disabled people and those with health conditions and to build more diverse and inclusive workforces.

You are here: Home / Careers in Sustainability / Sustainable Business
Sustainable business is a broad term that includes a focus on corporate environmental, social and economic sustainability: what's referred to in the business world as the "triple bottom line" of people, profits and planet. Jobs include chief sustainability officer, sustainability director, sustainability consultant and more. Sustainability business professionals come from a wide range of backgrounds, including business and finance, natural sciences, engineering, the social sciences and the humanities.
Most sustainability business professionals have a bachelor's degree, often in environmental sciences, environmental studies or business management, and many have a graduate degree, such as a Master of Business Administration or a master's degree in some form of environmental science or policy. A growing number of colleges and universities offer sustainability-specific degrees, such as a Master of Science in sustainability. Regardless of educational background, professionals usually need several years of hands-on work experience in sustainability before they can move into high-level management positions like director or chief sustainability officer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), salaries can range from $80,860 for transportation, storage and distribution managers to $166,910 for chief executives.
Sustainable Manufacturing Managers
Sustainable manufacturing includes manufacturing traditional products and goods using more efficient and less wasteful methods, as well as manufacturing sustainability technology itself. Thus, sustainable manufacturing managers oversee the production of everything from clothing and cars to wind turbines, solar panels and compost bins.
Industrial engineers often take on roles in sustainable manufacturing management. According to the BLS, these professionals "plan, direct, and coordinate the production activities required to produce a vast array of manufactured goods. These managers may also be responsible for improving the industrial production process and to find ways to reduce waste and improve efficiency, while remaining in budget."
On average, sustainable industrial manufacturing managers receive a salary of $89,190 annually. Most have a bachelor's degree in engineering, environmental sciences or business management, and some have graduate degrees, especially if they have moved up the management chain or plan to do so. Demand for manufacturing managers with sustainability expertise is expected to grow as companies look to use fewer resources, spend less on energy and prevent pollution. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2012 Green Goods and Services Survey revealed that more green jobs can be found in manufacturing than in any other area, including construction, professional, administrative or transportation.
Sustainability Managers
Sustainability mangers work for companies, colleges and universities and consulting agencies, developing sustainability goals and plans for their organizations, and then working to implement these plans and evaluate their success. Sustainability managers may also oversee and work on specific sustainability projects (like greenhouse gas emissions inventories and waste and energy audits), be involved in environmental health and safety planning (including compliance with regulations) and work to increase employee engagement in sustainability.
Since the work of sustainability managers covers a broad range of functions, there is no one set degree path, though these managers typically have bachelor's degrees in related fields like environmental sciences, environmental studies, management, engineering or sustainability. Higher-level management positions typically require a graduate degree (such as in environmental management, sustainability, or business) and years of work experience. General and operations managers earn an average annual salary of about $116,090.
The job outlook for sustainability managers is good. A 2011 Green Biz survey found that 86 percent of large companies had at least one full-time employee who spends all of his or her time working on sustainability, five percent more than in the previous year. Of the companies surveyed, 38 percent employed a sustainability executive at the vice president level; at 34 percent of these companies, a director or senior director served as the highest-ranking sustainability executive.
Sustainable Human Resources Managers
Most people think of sustainability only as it pertains to the environment, but it also includes social and economic factors like living wages for employees, work/life balance, access to health insurance, safe and discrimination-free workplaces and support for a workforce that is growing in diversity, from gender to ethnicity to economic status. More and more human resources, management, communications and other "people-focused" professionals are becoming part of sustainability teams that emphasize sustainable practices in the workplace. Their work includes:
Carrying out environmental best practices and policies.
Engaging employees in sustainable behaviors like recycling and using public transportation or carpooling to and from work.
Encouraging employee volunteering.
Educating employees about environmentally and socially responsible investment options for their retirement plans.
Developing and implementing hiring and management policies that promote diversity and equity, and retain high-quality employees.
Promoting a culture of community.
Employers ranging from large enterprises to small businesses face sustainability issues like these, creating a demand for human resources and other people-focused employees who can think critically and communicate well. Human resource managers who can bring a sustainability-based perspective to their work are valuable as they can help their employers recruit and retain high quality-employees who are looking to work for companies that are trying to make a difference. They can also help foster a positive culture of sustainability in the workplace.
As the Society for Human Resource Management Foundation explains,
"The HR function is critical to achieving success in a sustainability-driven organization. Sustainability practice pervades every aspect of doing business and needs to be embedded across an organization at all levels, becoming an ongoing change process. Since the prime focus and skills of HR professionals include organizational process, change management and culture stewardship, they should take a leading role in developing and implementing sustainability strategy."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for human resource managers was $99,720 in 2012. Those involved in management of companies and enterprises, or professional, scientific and technical services could earn $112,000 or more.
Sustainable Finance Professionals
Sustainability career paths in economically-focused fields include sustainable investing, environmental economics, environmental accounting, energy efficiency financing and more. The roles of such professionals can be more theoretical (for example, researchers, professors and government officials) or applied (investment advisers, financial specialists, risk mangers, carbon accountants, etc.). Bentley University, a business-focused institution, provides a great list of sustainable finance-related careers, from socially responsible investment to community and economic development finance.
As more state and federal regulations concerning issues like climate change and renewable energy emerge, career paths in sustainable finance may grow as a result. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not collect data on sustainable finance professionals, the broader financial analysis field is expected to grow 16 percent by 2022, and in 2012, financial analysts earned an average annual salary of $76,950.
Finance professionals typically have a bachelor's degree in a related field like accounting, economics, finance, statistics, mathematics or engineering. Most advanced positions require a master's degree, like an a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a master's degree in finance. Once employed, financial professionals are often sponsored by their employers to become licensed or certified through organizations such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or the CFA Institute, which offers the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential.
Sustainability Consultants
Many sustainability professionals work as consultants, helping companies, government agencies, nonprofits and other entities operate more sustainably — from designing a firm's sustainability strategy to conducting sustainability audits to developing risk management and compliance assurance plans. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Some organizations do not employ their own sustainability professionals, but still seek advice on sustainability practices. Such organizations frequently hire consultants from sustainability firms to offer specialized skills and services, as well as additional temporary manpower for specific projects."
Examples of sustainability consultant firms include Ernst & Young, KPMG, Deloitte and PriceWatershouseCoopers. Sustainability consulting is a growing business: According to a 2012 report by Environment Analyst, "CH2M Hill, Tetra Tech, URS Corporation, Golder Associates, AECOM and 15 other companies are spearheading the global environmental consulting industry with combined EC revenues of $10.6 billion in 2011, a 10.4 percent increase from the previous year."
Sustainability consultants come from a wide range of backgrounds, but typically have a bachelor's degree and years of work experience in related fields like environmental sciences, social sciences, business management or engineering. Depending on the type of consulting, credentials like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) AP certification may be required or prove helpful for those looking to advance.
A quick search of sustainability consultant jobs on Glassdoor.com in May 2014 revealed positions with salaries ranging from $40,000 to over $160,000. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not collect data on sustainability consultants, they estimate that environmental specialist positions will increase by 15 percent by 2022, with an average annual salary of $63,570 as of 2012. Likewise, management analyst positions are expected to grow by 19 percent by 2022, with an average annual salary of $78,600.
