ACEC Webinar: Impact of Climate Change on Civil Infrastructure

Posted by Content Coordinator on Thursday, March 31st, 2016

The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 1:30pm ET in order to discuss the impacts of climate change on engineering services and civil infrastructure.

The potentially severe impacts on civil infrastructure from climate change require updating infrastructure policy to integrate climate resilience planning into current decision-making.

For the engineering profession, this means new service opportunities.

Join Paul Chinowsky to explore the impact of climate change on traditional and future infrastructure design, as well as:

  • Opportunities for A/E firms to investigate climate change adaptation investment strategies
  • Vulnerability assessments to changing weather patterns
  • Techniques to help clients reduce risk and increase sustainability

Takeaways:

  • Analyze the emerging markets resulting from the impact of climate change on infrastructure and how to access these markets
  • Identify and locate new requirements of clients
  • Understand new risk perspectives in project decision-making

Presenters: Paul S. Chinowsky, Associate Vice Provost for Student Success, Professor, Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, University of Colorado

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
