The need to tackle climate impacts and transition to low carbon economies remains the great societal challenge. Developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure is part of this transition and as an industry we have a key role to play in reducing carbon emissions.
Internationally we are mandated to achieve emission reduction targets and a specific target in the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to make our infrastructure more sustainable.ย These goals have been adopted over 190 countries and set out a blueprint to achieve a fairer and more sustainable future for all.ย
There is an immediate need to embed sustainability and low carbon solutions at the heart of infrastructure. This needs to be done from the start of projects and continue throughout the lifetime of the asset.
Public and private sector organisations and funding bodies will play a leading role in developing sustainable infrastructure. In industry, we and our clients have a role to play in defining the project vision and the sustainable outcomes. Achieving this will require strong leadership, collaboration with delivery teams and innovation; new ways of thinking and acting must evolve.
