About

Greensider connects businesses and professionals to tackle our most pressing water issues!

Climate risk is predominantly water risk, with 90% of all natural disasters are water-related. However, climate conversations often overlook water's central role while the water sector faces a skills shortage. Greensider is here to bridge that gap.

Our services:

  • A water job board
  • Knowledge base for water issues in various sectors and countries
  • Guidance and resources for getting into water careers

Join our community and let’s take on the water challenges together!

Where did it begin?

This is for someone who likes a "short story long", narrated by Yongsi, our founder…

Founder

My "green bug" moment happened back in 2018. I was in Beijing and experienced one of the worst smog events. It got me thinking and eventually pushed me to switch careers, leaving my translation job for a full-time path in sustainability.

I went on to pursue a Master's degree in Carbon Management, but I still had countless questions about what kind of work I could do and how to break into the industry.

That's why I started the Greensider podcast, where I interviewed "green insiders" for career inspiration and insights. Over the years, Greensider has evolved from covering all things sustainability to now focusing on our most critical natural resource: water. It's been a long journey, but my original purpose hasn't changed: bringing people together to build a more sustainable future.

Since the beginning, I've had incredible help from family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. You can explore our past work and achievements in the archives here.

Very exciting for Greensider’s new chapter!
