In an era of information overload\, finding methods to conv ey the urgency of climate action is essential for mobilizing all stakehold ers across the value chain towards sustainable practices.\n\nMoreover\, sp eakers at this event will talk to responsibility of engineers in leading c ommunity education efforts. Functioning as integral members of interdiscip linary teams\, engineers are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between technical innovations and community needs.\n\nThere will also be a focus on advocacy for sustainable and resilient infrastructure that is fit for t he future\, our communities and the planet\, and how engineers can help to influence investment and unlock funding\, through education and communica tion.\n\nThe webinar also will showcase a global project on the collection \, consolidation and communication of national climate change mitigation e fforts related to engineering.\n\nFinally\, we will hear about ICSI and WF EO’s Engineering Change Campaign. The campaign is a powerful communicati on approach to demonstrate how young engineers\, in particular\, are instr umental in driving the urgent changes we need - they will determine how en gineering firms address issues of sustainability and resilience in years t o come.\n\nThis event serves as a platform for the engineering community t o share best practices\, advocate for and inspire collective action toward s a more sustainable and resilient future.\n\nSpeakers\n\nDavide Stronati\ , Chair\, WFEO Working Group on Engineering and Climate Change\nAnabel Mat alanga\, Member\, WFEO Committee on Young Engineers / Future Leaders Worki ng Group on Climate Action - Presentation Engineering change campaign\nPro fessor Jianping Wu\, Climate Mitigation Lead\, WFEO Working Group on Engin eering and Climate Change - Presentation on WFEO’s Climate Change Mitiga tion Best Practice Project\nMark Crouch\, Co-lead\, ICSI’s Funding and F inancing (F&F) Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Action Track - Present ation on F&F advocacy positions\nCraig Tanyanyiwa\, Regional Manager (Sout hern Africa)\, Wetskills and Graduate Civil Engineer Department of Water a nd Sanitation - Presentation on responsibility of engineers in leading com munity education efforts\, include case study/s\nSavina Carluccio\, Execut ive Director\, International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure - Cl osing remarks\n\n \;\nFor more information:\n\n WFEO Working Group on Climate Change website\n\n WFEO Committee on Young Engineers / Future Lead ers website\n\n International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (IC SI) website\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wfeo.org/wp-content/uploads/WED24-We binar-WFEO-ICSI-Banner5.png CATEGORIES:WFEO event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Paris X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Paris BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20231029T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:CET END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
