Achieving net-zero requires simultaneous decarbonization through multiple sectors. Industrial engineers are uniquely equipped with a systems viewpoint to consider climate equity, justice, economic outcomes, policy, human behaviors, optimization, risks and, of course, integrating the most recent technology.
Solutions lie within inherently interconnected and complex systems; transportation and energy, the food-water-energy triangle, and the human element within infrastructure and natural resources. Our leaders optimize outcomes and manage risks in a dynamic, ever-evolving world.
