 Engineers play an integral role in shaping our interraction with nature. The decisions we make on a day-to-day basis have a range of environmental, social, and economic impacts. The work of engineers significantly infuences our contribution to climate change. Climate change does not just present environmental risk; it also risk a to global political stability, infrastracture and food security. Given that climate change is one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century, and its impacts are already starting to be felt around the world, its imperative that engineering profession commits to playing its role in reducing its impacts. Engineers use their skills not only to crunch the numbers and equations, but also to engage with people to understand environmental impacts and drive the behavioural change required to minimize the impacts of climate change. So, my challenge to you is; what is your profession? how are you using your skills towards more sustainable future? Credit: Dell Technologies |
