The civil engineer’s role in tackling climate change
As we strive to reach net zero, carbon literacy is fundamental for ICE members as well as for the future of civil engineering. Which skills will engineers need to develop to reduce carbon emissions in their practice? How can we move fast enough to tackle carbon targets effectively?
In this podcast, ICE director of engineering knowledge Mark Hansford and ICE knowledge content director Alex Wynne are joined by Costain’s group climate change director Lara Young to examine how meeting carbon targets is a rapidly expanding field of work, offering new opportunities for career development and personal growth for those who are carbon literate.
Episode produced by Dr Joe Jackson and Amanda Rice.
