Develop systems or practices to mitigate or resolve environmental problems

Work activity · O*NET

Develop systems or practices to mitigate or resolve environmental problems is an intermediate work activity in the O*NET database — a concrete task that recurs across many occupations , grouped under Thinking Creatively. 25 occupations report doing it as part of their work.

What it involves

The most common detailed activities O*NET records under this category, ranked by how many occupation tasks map to each.

  • Apply knowledge or research findings to address environmental problems
  • Design alternative energy systems
  • Protect wildlife or natural areas
  • Design energy-efficient vehicles or vehicle components
  • Design environmental control systems
  • Design systems to reduce harmful emissions
  • Design water conservation systems
  • Design energy-efficient equipment or systems

How AI is applied to this activity

Microsoft's "Working with AI" study mapped real Bing Copilot conversations to O*NET work activities. The figures below are their measurements for this activity — they describe how AI is used today in one assistant's data, not a forecast that the activity will be automated.

AI completes it successfully 96.4% When Copilot attempts this activity, how often it finishes the task
Scope AI handles 23.6% How much of the activity AI carries within a conversation
Positive user feedback 78.0% Share of interactions users rated positively
How often AI is applied here 40th pct Percentile across all measured activities by how often AI performs them

Source: Microsoft "Working with AI" (working-with-ai). A high completion rate means AI can assist the activity in isolation — it does not mean an occupation that performs it is being automated, since every job blends many activities.
