“ICE President Rachel Skinner asks the big challenging questions that will turn climate discussion into #ClimateAction.”

The civils students will have seen this in their emails today, but it might be of interest for E&M as well – follow up video from the (now outgoing) ICE President focussing on what we as (civil) engineers can do for shaping carbon neutral.

For those who haven’t seen the original video, it was released at the start of Rachel Skinner’s year as President:

#ShapingZero features a cast of famous faces arguing passionately for the urgent need to act on #ClimateChange. Experts interviewed included world-renowned explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Chair of the UK Committee on Climate Change Lord Deben, former UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Amber Rudd, former ICE President Sir John Armitt, the Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti and the Mayor of Stockholm Anna König Jerimyr, Eden Project Founder Sir Tim Smit and several industry experts. All the experts featured agreed that climate change is the most urgent issue that #CivilEngineers need to tackle and that the wider public needs civil engineers to make that significant difference in the years ahead.
