The statement stated that climate resilient, sustainable infrastructure is an imperative for civilization. Politicians can enable it; institutional investors can fund it; but only engineers can build it. <\/p>\n<p>The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), representing 30 million engineers, is led by its President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/gong_ke\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Prof. Gong Ke<\/a>, stated that it is \u201cimperative that engineers be engaged in this massive and worldwide effort to ensure that the infrastructure that supports our quality of life and economic progress is resilient. Given the universal importance and need to address climate change as a specific goal and an integral strategy within many UN Sustainable Development Goals, a focus on climate change adaptation is a necessary complementary strategy to the mitigation of climate change through GHG reduction, for achieving a carbon neutral world.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 200%; border-left: solid 2px #616161; padding-left: 20px; line-height: normal;\"><b>&#8220;It is imperative that engineers be engaged in this massive and worldwide effort to ensure that the infrastructure that supports our quality of life and economic progress is resilient.&#8221;<\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 90%; text-align: right;\"><b>WFEO President Prof. Gong Ke<\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stimson.org\/ppl\/brian-finlay\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Brian Finlay<\/a>, President of the Stimson Center, underscored the stakes: \u201cThe climate crisis is a matter of national security. Working with our strategic partner, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), we have recommended that infrastructure should not be separated from climate policymaking. It is vital that engineers be invited to the leadership table at the outset of the process, not as an afterthought. Engineers have critical responsibilities across the implementation spectrum. They are the experts who write sustainable infrastructure standards, guidelines, and upgraded codes to incorporate into our laws, regulations, and procurement practices.  infrastructure acts as a prime mover towards the attainment of each of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe changing climate places engineers at a critical juncture,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asce.org\/bios\/jean-louis-briaud\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jean-Louis Briaud<\/a>, Ph.D., P.E., president of the American Society of Civil Engineers. \u201cWith significant investment expected for infrastructure systems all over the globe over the next 20 years and beyond, it is imperative that engineers are equipped with the tools and standards to make those investments such that engineered infrastructure can withstand an ever-changing climate. We must place a very high priority on sustainability and resilience when designing infrastructure, both for the safety of the global population, and to ensure our investments don\u2019t go to waste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time to put infrastructure at the top of the world\u2019s climate agenda. We cannot win the Race to Zero and the Race to Resilience without a powerful dedication to building and retrofitting global infrastructure that can withstand climate disasters and be relied upon to function sustainably during its entire life cycle. When President Biden meets with world leaders at his conference on April 22 and when the world leaders gather for COP 26, it is urgent to build an indestructible link between climate and infrastructure, including its social and environmental impacts,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stimson.org\/2019\/coordinate-climate-strategy-through-institute-climate-disaster-resilience\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jan Hartke<\/a>, Chairman of the Alliance for a Climate Resilient Earth. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a challenge of global significance,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asce.org\/templates\/person-candidate-detail.aspx?id=23354\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">K.N. Gunalan<\/a> (Guna), the past President of the ASCE and the US representative to the WFEO. \u201cBy 2050, UN Climate Envoy Bloomberg points out, we will have built 4 times as much infrastructure globally as exists today. Between now and 2040, the G20 estimates that the world will need $94 trillion to meet infrastructure needs. The cities of the future are estimated to spend 40% of their budgets on infrastructure. With a planetary challenge so immense, we cannot afford to get it wrong. We have the foresight and talent to build better before disaster strikes and retrofit to a higher standard after the event occurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/csce.ca\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE)<\/a>, founded in 1887 was created to develop and maintain high standards of civil engineering practice in Canada and to enhance the public image of the civil engineering profession.  Catherine Mulligan CSCE President stated that \u201cthere is now a broad scientific consensus that the global climate is changing in ways that are likely to have profound impacts on the hydrologic cycle and the human society.  Innovation through different applications of an existing approach or technology and breaking the thinking in silos are required by engineers. \u201c<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 200%; border-left: solid 2px #616161; padding-left: 20px; line-height: normal;\"><b>&#8220;This is a challenge of global significance.
