Could you talk a bit about why this kind of information is not enough? (I was in a similar situation as you a few months ago, and it took some time to figure out how to find work that was clearly good for the world. But the specific problems for each of us may be different.)
What did you end up doing?
Yes to 1. and 4., also a bit of 3. Also, a lot of regulatory overhead.

also jobs at climatebase.org and naturetech.io
If I were in urban design I'd look at https://www.humankind.city/ among other similar organisations. The EU made a bunch of urban mobility related content free at https://urbanmobilitycourses.eu, my favourite is https://urbanmobilitycourses.eu/courses/free-visualization-t...
PS. I have nothing to do with them.
I used it to find my own house a bike ride from a train station an hour from Dublin (I work remote) with gigabit fibre for under 100k in 2019. I would never have found it with the traditional real estate sites that assume I drive everywhere.
It's just a side project though, I barely get time to hack on it.
