Climate change: Do we have the skills to tackle it?
Former Community Member
By working more closely with schools, colleges, and universities, can industry prioritise reskilling and upskilling the current workforce? How do we ensure future engineers have the right skills to address climate change? Comment below to share your thoughts! You can also learn more in our recent IET skills for net zero and a green recovery 2020 survey.
There is no point in spending billions in tax payers money for a vanity project to bolster the standing of any current incumbent if the major polluters are not going to cut their emissions. I know it all sound so very righteous, which seems to be the current fad, and I understand people thinking it is the right thing to do but our contribution to global pollution is so small we will make no difference globally and we will just impoverish ourselves in the process.
Furthermore, engineering is not about political correctness, you don’t have to be politically correct to be a good engineer.
