Sustainability is a broad, relatively new field — and it is not going anywhere. In fact, it is expanding into all different careers. The United Nations defines Sustainability as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is broken into three pillars:
1) Environmental
2) Social
3) Economic
You can read more about the three pillars: here
If you already know what pillar or career you would like to pivot to the next best thing to do is gain some education.

Businesses are reacting by creating new roles focused on developing ESG-friendly practices and solutions in every function. Because these roles are new to everyone, the playing field is even.
