EIC’s Manifesto for Sustainable Growth and Prosperity: Priorities for the UK government
Our sector offers achievable solutions and is ready to work with the UK’s government. This plan positions the built and natural environment at the heart of delivering low-carbon infrastructure, sustainable, healthy and vibrant communities, climate change adaptation and mitigation. Taking a holistic approach, it encompasses water management, better air quality improvement, nature recovery, and the transition to a circular economy - reflecting the interconnectedness of the built and natural environment.
Engineering consultants and environmental experts are ambitious, skilled, adaptable, and poised to address local, national and global challenges head-on. By harnessing their collective brainpower, they can drive positive change to build resilience, deliver nature positive outcomes and combat climate change. They play a multifaceted role in driving economic growth, serving as trusted advisors, problem-solvers, and innovators. Their deep industry knowledge provides invaluable guidance to businesses and government seeking to navigate complex challenges and seize new opportunities.
