In this episode, hosts Peter Reynolds and Geoff Sheffrin discuss the role engineers have played in contributing to the climate crisis. Engineers have historically focused on cost-effectiveness rather than environmental impact but can now become architects of change.
Peter & Geoff are joined by Sandro Perruzza, CEO of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), to discuss the importance of organizations like OSPE empowering engineers in the fight against climate change and to highlight the proactive initiatives they're taking to ensure engineers' voices are heard at all levels of government.
