It's a shocking fact that around 70% of the world's #CarbonEmissions can be traced back to #infrastructure. Launched today by ICE President Rachel Skinner CBE, #StateOfTheNation2021 offers 6 key ways #CivilEngineers can act on #ClimateChange 👉 bit.ly/ICESoN2021.

The new ICE report stresses that #infrastructure does not exist in isolation but is part of a complex system and is indeed a system of systems - an integrated approach is needed #systemsengineering ice.org.uk/knowledge-and-…

they say 'change starts at home', well, if you're an engineer, change must start at the office. ICE new State of the Nation report sets out 6 behaviours engineers need to habitualise if we're going to deliver net zero. Report at ice.org.uk/knowledge-and-…

Kaye Pollard says #CivilEngineers must greet #ClimateChange ‘with the same urgency we would approach a disaster.’ As ICE launches #StateoftheNation2021, New Civil Engineer reflects on the discussions held at the #StateOfTheNation launch. 👉 bit.ly/3iCy4RS.

Until we shift the media narrative from “What can you do to stop climate change” onto “your government is responsible to decarbonise the infrastructures that you rely on”, we won’t hit Net Zero. In part due to inequalities in wealth, tenure, ownership + access to information. 🧵

We must face the facts on who has the ability to make changes to buildings and infrastructure and the role governments must begin to play in decarbonising them, in enforcing regulations that are fit for a #ClimateEmergency and in carrying out the repairs and upgrades they need.

'#ClimateAction and #ClimateResilience are two sides of the same coin. It's too late to separate them now. We need to get ready for the impacts of #ClimateChange that we are going to feel in the next couple of years' - Rachel Skinner CBE, ICE President 2020-21 #ICEaddress

Today marks the start of Tomorrow’s Engineers Week 2021 (8 to 12 Nov) and we’re celebrating engineers and technicians whose work is helping to tackle climate change. Share your #netzero story using our #TEWeek21 template: tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/media/eioladps… Mott MacDonald Kaye Pollard

If there is one investment that was a game changer for the last fifty years of Bangladesh's development it was in girls education. It led to reducing births and garment industry. The best investment for next fifty years is in the next generation of girls! theprint.in/world/banglade…

‘We can’t cope with the extra tidal pressure. Several times a year our property is washed away by tidal salt water. Now cyclones hit this area frequently. Yet hope keeps us alive.' -- Many coastal villages in Bangladesh are now uninhabitable due to the effects of climate change.

Did you know that our infrastructure is responsible for up to 70% of greenhouse gas emissions? Kaye Pollard shares how #CivilEngineers can combat #ClimateChange while continuing to improve lives through infrastructure. 👉 bit.ly/35z59aF #EarthDay2022

'The circumstances & events leading up to Luke embarking on this journey of his are incredibly rare & can’t help but leave you feeling angry at the unfairness of the world. But do I feel sorry for Luke himself? Absolutely not' New blog from Kaye Pollard: bristol2beijing.org/blog/5hs2boaeh…
