在我们的行业中，气候变化将对年轻工程师产生最大影响。这是因为我们面临着大多数成年人生活的现实。
我们很快就会在的位置fluence. This gives us the opportunity to make a difference for current and future generations.
For the foreseeable future, we only have planet earth to call home. This is why it is important to act now and push the boundaries of what we can achieve as a group. This must start with a paradigm shift in our thought process and practise.
Rising to the challenge of the climate emergency
比尔麦凯宾，一位美国环保主义者，曾经说过“气候变化是人类在这个星球上所做的最大的事情。需要更大的一件事是我们阻止它的运动。
We can make our movement bigger by:
- Asking questions
- 寻求答案
- Applying the solutions
- Engaging the community
如果我们能做到这一点，世界将是一个更好的地方。
作为年轻工程师，我们在行业中独特地定位了合法的影响。这是因为我们的激情，敏捷，焦点和努力。我们现在需要的只是有关如何解决紧急情况的指导。
气候紧急万博优惠活动怎么申请任务组（CETG）通过阐述了一步
a six-point approach to achieve zero carbon goal by 2050。所有六个CETG主题的初始阅读都列于文章中，在六月的结构工程师出版的变革框架中。
我相信年轻工程师可以通过几种方式支持这一六点方法。
Young engineers should learn about the challenges ahead
解决任何挑战的第一步是教育自己。我们都应该了解我们的职责
结构工程师宣言。We should encourage our employers to sign up and ask our managers ‘why not’ if they haven’t. We should take advantage of the information published by IStructE and other professional bodies on climate change due to built environment, sustainable design principles and more. We have no reason to not take this first step.

Young engineers can take the lead in encouraging responsible practice
Steps two to five, as set out by CETG, give us a brilliant road map of design ideas and information we can use to achieve this goal. Each of us can do something in our capacity. Some of us might face anxiety about how to make a difference given we are at the beginning of our careers. However, it is important to know that you are not alone. We should start by questioning the design brief:
- 我们需要拆除大楼吗？
- 使用回收或再生材料是否有范围？
We may not yet be in the position to ask these questions directly of the client. But we can ask them of our teams, our line managers, and the architects and engineers we work with each day. Question every design choice made by your team through the lens of sustainability. If we can get one client to tweak their brief to be more sustainable, we would have started an unstoppable movement.
年轻工程师可以动员来解决气候急诊
We must think about engaging within the community of engineers, students, colleagues and government officials to exchange ideas, information and influence policy. I’d encourage you to join your local young member’s regional group through the

。
We, young engineers, must work in synergy using technology. We must pursue senior management to support us. We should use our single biggest strength, our passion, for every opportunity we get to be heard and to make a difference.
我希望这篇文章有动力让你迈向解决气候变化的第一步。如果它有，我邀请您伸出您所面临的想法，经验和挑战：
