Bristol Airport hosts exhibition celebrating role of engineering in reaching net zero

Bristol Airport in the UK has launched a new exhibition highlighting the central role of civil engineers in creating the infrastructure needed to tackle climate change and reach net-zero targets.

‘Time is running out – help us engineer a net zero world’ explores the future of infrastructure and focuses on the sustainable solutions that civil engineers are coming up with in sectors such as transport, energy and water.

The exhibition, created by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), aims to inspire young people who are passionate about the environment to consider civil engineering as a career.

Based around three illuminated pods, the exhibition features original hand-drawn illustrations and profiles of civil engineers. TV presenter Rob Bell also tackles six questions in a series of short films embedded within the pods.
