Issue 5: The Climate Resilient Infrastructure Report - A focus on Transport
Engineering action on climate, innovation, and resilience
Our Mission
Mobilising an engineering-led coalition to make resilience and sustainability a cornerstone of every decision in the infrastructure lifecycle in communities around the globe.
Our Commitment
To solve systemic problems, we need systemic solutions. Through working with engineers, cities, investors, academics, NGOs and businesses, we are committed to breaking down silos that limit our ability to act on adaptation, resilience and mitigation measures.Advocacy

Why we need to mobilise the engineering community
Engineers have a crucial role to play in responding to the climate crisis
They hold the technical expertise needed to drive solutions and implement action.
Engineers are widely trusted by the public
The engineering community is well positioned to make an impact beyond their own industry, to influence policy and planning, and to become leaders on climate action.
Engineers have a crucial role to play in responding to the climate crisis

There is an imbalance of science and engineering capacity across geographies
We are missing engineers in regions where they are most needed. As the infrastructure requirements increase, so too does the need for engineers and infrastructure specialists in these regions. For instance, 10 million engineers are needed in Africa alone in the next 30 years in order stay within the 1.5˚c goal.
