A field guide to ConsultEarth categories
Categories are how ConsultEarth makes sense of who does what. Experts choose the areas they work in; clients post assignments under the same map. When the two line up, the right work finds the right person instead of getting lost in a pile of mismatched listings.
The marketplace spans two worlds that increasingly overlap: climate and sustainability, and international development. Plenty of experts work across both. Explore each one below; tap any area to read its full description and a few examples of the work that sits inside it.

Choosing your categories
Pick the areas where you can credibly deliver, not every topic that interests you. A sharp, honest set of categories gets you matched more often than a long one. Clients can tell the difference, and so can the matching that puts your profile in front of them.
