Contact the Policy team

Contact our Policy team

Our policy team works with to help inform strategic decision makers and ensure that the importance of infrastructure is understood. If you'd like to speak to the team or got a question, please contact:

e: [email protected]

ICE's Policy team oversees the delivery of our infrastructure policy analysis and advice to the UK and devolved governments and local decision makers.

We have a history of being at the centre of infrastructure decision making in the UK. To support this role we produce a range of materials including:

  • policy reports
  • consultation responses
  • think pieces
  • video content

These materials inform decision makers on challenges and advise on solutions. We highlight engineering options and also comment on how infrastructure is delivered and maintained by government and industry.

By drawing on the expertise within our membership and the wider built environment ICE provides an authoritative and informative source of advice for decision makers.

  • SoN 2020: Infrastructure and net-zero

State of the Nation 2020: Infrastructure and the 2050 net-zero target sets out a series of policy recommendations for ensuring that the sector plays its part in the UK achieving net zero emissions.
