Dylan applied for a QUEST travel award with one goal in mind: to drive innovation in his work through diversified experiences. There are many lessons we can learn from each other, so Dylan travelled to Asia to see engineering through a different lens. But what did he see and what did he learn?

Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
Civil Engineering
Civil engineers shaping the world. Representing more than 97,000 members worldwide.
About us
Our mission is to put civil engineers "at the heart of society". We are a qualifying body, a centre for the exchange of knowledge and a provider of resources to encourage innovation and excellence in the profession worldwide. Our 97,000 members help to create the structures and systems that sustain society. They are responsible for designing, building, maintaining and improving bridges, roads, canals, docks, office buildings, hospitals, schools, airports, power stations, railways, flood defences, water-treatment facilities... everywhere. We make sure that the high standards needed to become a professional civil engineer are met. Professionals who are awarded membership of our Institution are among the best in the world. In the UK, we talk to national, devolved and local government and to the media. Our experts give informed comments to journalists, politicians and the public. We let politicians know what our members think. We give our opinion to government in writing and in person, and encourage our members to comment on consultation documents.

They say that third time’s the charm! For award-winning apprentice, Jack Taylor, changing careers three times led him to obtain his EngTech qualification with the ICE. Supported by his colleagues, Jack's learned to ask questions with confidence to help him progress. From applying theory in real-world situations to using his initiative, find out why Jack looks back at his career journey with gratitude: https://lnkd.in/e-dbNyUe #CivilEngineering #Apprenticeships #EarlyCareers Awcock Ward Partnership

This week, the London Climate Resilience Review was published calling for a “reset moment” to prepare the city for more floods and heatwaves. ICE President, Prof. (Dr) Anusha Shah said: “There is a wealth of evidence right here in London that climate change is happening and putting people’s lives at risk. The smart thing to do is to turn this risk into the biggest opportunity of our lives and reshape our city with nature and people at the heart. This will help significantly in making London low carbon, climate resilient, greener, economically productive and socially equitable. To achieve this, we need to overhaul our current systems. Every sector: including governments and engineers consistently talk about the importance of systems thinking, yet we continue to operate in silos and discuss net zero, climate resilience, biodiversity decline and social inequity in isolation. The London Climate Resilience Review does the necessary work of joining the dots. We have been waiting for this for a long time”.

This morning, we published the #LondonClimateResilienceReview, an independent report to the Mayor of London looking at how well-prepared London is for more frequent and severe #heatwaves, #floods, #storms, #droughts, #wildfires and other #climate risks. https://lnkd.in/e9ih3Gzi We are entering a new era. In 2024, even as El Niño fades, we are set for another record-breaking year of deadly heatwaves, wildfires and storms. In the last year, floods in the UK have upended lives and battered local economies. The Mayor of London took a world-leading step by calling for an independent review of London’s climate resilience. The health and security of Londoners and the health of the national economy are inseparable. This is a reset moment for efforts to increase the UK’s stability in the face of global climate disruption. As the new government takes action to end the cost-of-living crisis, protecting the lives and livelihoods of working people from extreme weather is non-negotiable. We spoke to individuals, communities and organisations including the NHS, Transport for London, London Fire Brigade, the Metropolitan Police, Borough Councils, the GLA, UK government, NGOs, the financial services sector, sports and cultural institutions as well as representatives of vulnerable groups. We have made 50 recommendations for action to get ahead of climate risks in London and other cities around the world.

The UK still lacks realistic plans to meet its goals for cutting harmful carbon emissions. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has come to this conclusion in its annual report tracking the country's progress in meeting net zero targets. Despite some notable successes, the UK is held back by policy gaps and inconsistent messaging, the CCC says. What else does the report tell the infrastructure industry?
