CORPORATE PARTNER BRIEFING
Prof John Beddington, Chief Scientific Adviser to HM Government
Tuesday 30 June 2009

Global Challenges: Diverse Engineering Solutions to Interrelated Problems
Synopsis: The 21st century is, and will be, one of change and challenge. Amongst the major drivers
of this change are population increase, urbanisation, the alleviation of poverty and climate change, all of
which provide enormous inter-related challenges for the future. There is a need to generate significantly
increased food production, increased freshwater availability and increased clean, low carbon energy if these
challenges are to be met. This provides a major agenda for engineering in the future and a diverse engineering
base will be required to develop these solutions. The aeronautical engineering profession will have its own
particular challenges. These issues will be explored in this lecture.
Biography: Professor John Beddington was appointed as Government Chief Scientific
Adviser (GCSA) on 1 January 2008. John's main research interests are the application of
