Engineering a Sustainable World
IChemE has partnered with ITN Business to produce Engineering a Sustainable World, a programme looking at the role that chemical and process engineers play in addressing climate change.
Hosted by the presenter, Lukwesa Burak, from the ITN London Studio, Engineering a Sustainable World looks at the role that chemical engineers play in addressing climate change, the vital role of collaboration between industry and academic institutions, cutting-edge technology and innovation, the development of a sustainable workforce, and the crucial need to inspire the next generation of engineers.
The programme also showcases films from businesses and organisations from across the field of chemical engineering, demonstrating the enormous contributions they are making to our world. Watch the full programme below.
