In the global move towards net zero, the impact of civil/ structural engineers should not be underestimated. A net zero target was passed into law in July 2019 by the UK Government, with a duty for all greenhouse gas emissions to be net zero by 2050. Engineers and stakeholders within the infrastructure sector have a significant role to play in addressing the climate crisis and achieving this target. Taking a bridge underpass as an example, Figure 1 outlines the scale of the impact engineers can have by introducing changes across the design, construction, use and reuse of infrastructure to reduce embodied carbon. |
