    The Arup Profile: Issue 3

    The world is at a critical inflection point in addressing the climate crisis. More than just a moral imperative, climate action is fast becoming a strategic agenda for governments and businesses to collectively prioritise and secure the future.

    In this issue of The Arup Profile, we share lessons from Covid-19 that can help address environmental challenges and lay the groundwork for building more inclusive, resilient and sustainable cities.

    Read about our new narratives in Southeast Asia as we work with clients to explore emerging low-carbon opportunities, while galvanising against climate-related risks. We share how we are developing new insights, strategies and skillsets, and are continuing to work with longstanding partners at the World Bank and C40 Cities on this important journey. Much of this work will continue in this critical decade, as we explore ways to unlock meaningful and sustainable strategies for communities, business and assets.

    The Arup Profile is our collection of stories on shaping cities, spaces and places in Southeast Asia. To subscribe to The Arup Profile or connect with us, please get in touch.
