Flooding, heat waves, rising sea levels, and the associated news about these effects of climate change are enough to make anyone feel hopeless about what can be done. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates that Americans experienced twenty separate multi-billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2021 alone, costing $145 billion.

One industry, however, is poised to make a profound positive impact in the face of this dire news: engineers. Engineers have the knowledge and the skillset to reduce the risk that their projects will face climate-change-related risks if they incorporate the three basic steps below into their project work.
