Until now, natural resources such as energy, materials, water and land have been abundant and cheap. As a result, today’s economy - from buildings and transport to food and clothing – is wasteful. The scarcity of resources, the impact of their use and the growth of emerging economies mean that the infrastructure, products and services of tomorrow will have to be radically different.
The speed at which the planet is warming is currently greater than the speed at which the global economy is reducing its emissions. Since December 2015 – the date when 195 nations signed the legally binding Paris Agreement to pursue “efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels” and to reverse this unfolding climate catastrophe, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, not fall.
Decarbonizing the global economy is the primary and most critical challenge. Our community of engineers specialize in devising bespoke energy and sustainability strategies tackling both operational and embodied carbon. Thus, accelerating the mission to a net zero world.
