ICE publishes civil engineering insights paper on the 2050 net-zero emissions target

The net-zero emissions target was entered into law this summer with many councils, academic, charitable and business organisations declaring climate emergencies since then. Public attention has continued to gather momentum in recent weeks, and it's therefore of little surprise that it's become a core theme of the general election. ICE���s insights paper – and the work that we've planned for 2020 – seeks to make sense of the discourse, to work out what policy interventions and practical steps are required as the infrastructure sector faces up to working towards the net-zero target. The UK is not the only nation to have legislated for a net-zero GHG target.
