Professional Ethics in a Changing Climate – Livia Balone and Sincy Modayil (Thursday October 17, 14:00 – 14:30)
Engineers and Planners in Alberta are held to professional standards through the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) and the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), taking into account how professional activities may affect the changing environment and the roles to be taken in adaptation and disaster risk-reduction measures. This learning session will outline how professional planner and engineer responsibilities are changing to address climate change. The session will explore the codes of conduct and ethics and other governing policies for each profession and how they inform engineering and planning practice as it relates to climate resilience.
