Climate Change a Big Driver of Work

摘要

Responding to and preparing for climate change is a huge driver of environmental work globally, according to several firms in the sector. With the ratification of the Paris climate agreement, companies expect to see more requirements for climate-change mitigation and adaptation incorporated into contracts. "Climate change is a scary thought to many. For engineers, we see this as a great opportunity with many challenges," says Alan Krause, executive vice president of Stantec and former CEO of MWH Global, which was acquired by Stantec earlier this year.
