The ICE has recognised 31 individuals with the new title of Resilience Champions for demonstrating that their projects are helping to build an inclusive, resilient and sustainable world.

The programme, launched last summer by ICE President Prof Anusha Shah, aims to showcase best practice and inspire others working across the infrastructure and built environment industry.

It aligns closely with Prof Shah’s presidential theme of nature- and people- positive.

Prof Shah said: “Building a cleaner and greener world requires us to try new ways of working and collaborating across sectors, geographies and generations.

“Every decision we make must have sustainability, resilience and inclusivity at heart.

“Only then can we meet the challenges of climate change, biodiversity decline and social inequity.

“Our new Resilience Champions are setting an example – we all can and must learn from them.”

The first cohort of ICE Resilience Champions represent various organisations, including Stantec, Arcadis, Deltares, CIRIA, Gurney Environmental, and more.
