Empowering engineers with the skillsets to address the challenges created by climate change requires adapting both the technological and philosophical frameworks used in engineering education. This goal has been the subject of the Royal Academy of Engineering's Engineers 2030 project, which aims to determine the foundational knowledge, skills and behaviours needed by engineers and technicians to meet 21st century global challenges and to understand the systems, cultures and policies currently in place in the UK to deliver this.
