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
