  CORPORATE PARTNER BRIEFING
  Prof John Beddington, Chief Scientific Adviser to HM Government

  Tuesday 30 June 2009

  No.4 Hamilton Place, London W1J 7BQ


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.
