Overview

The session will focus on climate change and resilience and the role of the engineer in an evolving industry. The CEng Communication Task Group on Climate Change and Resilience focuses on the essential role engineers play in addressing climate change. By sharing knowledge and innovative solutions, the group aims to enhance the resilience of infrastructure and communities to the impacts of a changing climate. Through collaboration and effective communication, engineers can lead the way in implementing sustainable practices that safeguard the environment and future generations. After the presentation, participants will discuss the evolution of the role of the engineer and the implications for skills and capabilities needed for future challenges.
