We’ve been expanding our cause area overviews to highlight more ways people can make a difference. These new articles dive into different global challenges and offer a broad look at various impactful career paths worth considering:
- Biosecurity – Exploring the importance of reducing risks from pandemics and other biological threats.
- Mental Health – Examining the role of mental well-being in improving lives on a global scale.
- Economic Growth – Investigating the role of economic development in large-scale positive change.
- An Intro to AI Safety and a profile on opportunities in AI Safety and Governance.
- An introduction to Effective Giving that explores how strategic charitable giving can provide another route to impact.
We’d also planned to share a big piece on broad societal improvements (covering topics like scientific practices and societal values), but it turned out to be quite tricky to get right, so we’re taking extra time to get it up to our standard.
If you want to get notified about content like this as it comes out, you can subscribe to our newsletter, where we regularly share impact-focused career advice. And if you have feedback or suggestions, please let us know!
Just wanted to say I thought the mental health report is really good! I think it does a great job of highlighting where mental health is at as an EA cause area and where the big challenges are. Thanks for shouting out Kaya Guides!
