[Future Gen Cymru @futuregencymru]

In 2019 we launched our Future Generations Leadership Academy with 20 amazing young people in our first cohort.

Today, they are graduating from our programme so we are going to be dedicating our page today to them and their journeys #FutureLeadersWales

Supporting people in towns & cities to use #activetravel means more of us can be on the move, but safely.
#ArupCardiff has worked with @cardiffcouncil to improve #cycling & #walking infrastructure for many years & is looking to a #netzerocarbon future https://t.co/hSsP5jnw8L

[Arup UK @ArupUK]

The need to achieve net zero carbon requires us at #Arup to work more closely - and more urgently - with our clients. Thank you @theCCCuk chair Lord Deben for exploring the decarbonisation challenge with us. #ArupLondon

The engineers at the World Engineers Convention #WEC19Aus today agree that we are in a #climate emergency! 🔥🌏

[Joan Ko @jkosust]

At #WEC19Aus, @karabrussen traces how the SDGs have been adopted into Welsh national legislation, down to organisations and projects. Sustainably logic at its finest.

[Joan Ko @jkosust]

Empathy, humility and commitment. This is how engineers can avoid creating more problems with each 'solution' we come up with... Prof Elizabeth Taylor from the International Engineering Alliance. #WEC19Aus

[Kara Brussen @karabrussen]

A highlight of the World Engineers Convention so far - @matteverything on transforming #construction 🏗 👷‍♀️Without us, the world will not be able to make the changes needed to reverse #climatechange👏🌍

This. Is. Terrifying. 🔥🔥

[Climate Council @climatecouncil]

"We felt we had a duty to tell people how climate change is super-charging our natural disaster risks. I wish we were wrong, but we’re not."
