| 摘要： | WEDA Environmental Commission Chair Craig Vogt presented a climate change initiative to members during the commissions annual meeting at the 2022 Dredging Summit and Expo held recently in Houston. The group accepted the task, which will study how the dredging industry is contributing to sustainabil-ity, resilience and adaptation in response to climate change. Members responded positively to Vogt's request for ideas for developing goals to move the concept forward. Matt Binsfeld described how young people today see working in an industry that is advancing a cleaner environment as a primary goal when seeking employment. This initiative would at- tract young people to the industry, he said. He also suggested that including dredging involvement in the wind-farm industry would further the goal of attracting young people. Other suggestions were: to identify the audience, define what "sustainable" means; ask for paper submissions on sustainability; a possible short course on the subject outlining goals a company can adopt; and "What is the dredging industry doing?" stories. |
