Making the Next 10 Count @ COP26

Insights and ambitions

making the next 10 count

Making the next ten count at COP26

All around the world, people in every community are suffering from the impacts of climate change. The United Nations Climate Change conference, COP26, presents a pivotal moment to create a path to a green recovery, before the window to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees by 2050 closes. Action this decade will be crucial; so how can we make the next 10 years really count? Our engineers, scientists, architects and advisors offer their insights.


PDF Supercharged Transition

A supercharged transition

Making the next 10 count to rapidly decarbonise our energy systems

As the decade progresses, how we produce, move and consume energy is going to be mission critical to emissions reduction. Will communities take matters into their own hands to democratise access to clean energy, if governments don’t act quickly enough? 

Ambition #1 – We’ll double-down on renewable energy production and grid integration

Renewable energy uptake will need to significantly ramp-up, while balancing the realities of what’s possible and affordable, on our global quest to “electrify everything” this coming decade.

Ambition #2 – Carbon capture and storage will (finally) earn its stripes

As the technology continues to evolve, we predict that carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) will finally establish its legitimacy as a critical enabler of the energy transition.

Ambition #3 – Small-scale energy storage will be big business

With the advent of new technology bringing energy storage to households, we foresee a future where energy availability, consumption and pricing are firmly in the hands of the consumer.


Shock-resistant communities

Shock-resistant communities

Making the next 10 count to underpin resilient, adaptable communities

Where we live and how we move around will mean dramatically different priorities for urban planning and infrastructure investment. Planners and placemakers will shift their thinking this decade to underpin resilient, adaptive, low-carbon communities.

Ambition #1 – Regenerative design principles will deliver ‘net positive’ built form

This decade, we believe a deeper understanding of ‘natural capital’ – the economic value we place on our ecosystems – will shape new strategies to deliver sustainable, regenerative built environments that factor in material and water flows, as well as whole-of-life carbon costs.

Ambition #2 – We’ll reimagine our cities and suburbs to achieve ‘smarter density’

Post-COVID, we will have a window of time to capitalise on changing settlement patterns and behaviours to plan smarter CBDs, satellite centres, peri-urban areas and suburban neighbourhoods that are both population-responsive and climate-adaptive.

Ambition #3 – Using data to predict, plan and adapt to change

Global warming will require closer observation and forecasting of severe weather patterns that pose risk. Location intelligence, visualisation and other data-driven predicative analytics will be wielded as part of a sophisticated defence system against the impacts of climate change.


Radical Collaboration

Radical collaboration

Making the next 10 count to accelerate the low-carbon economy

How can we radically collaborate to make the right choices – and the right investment decisions – to mobilise global markets and accelerate the establishment of a sustainable, low-carbon economy?

From competitive edge to ‘collaborative advantage’

Instead of working in isolation, businesses that would normally compete will need to come together to tackle emissions across the value chain.

The knowledge sharing opportunity

This is where opportunities to pool data and intelligence in all its forms – from the ancient to high-tech – become all the more important.

A shared responsibility – a shared opportunity

Climate change impacts us all, particularly our future generations – and it will take a united front to face the challenges ahead.
