The concept behind Climate Informed Engineering (CIE) is to enable engineers to build infrastructure, devices, sensors or develop new materials and processes that are informed by climate and climate change information. CIE represents an opportunity for transformative changes where both climate scientists and engineers could benefit organically from their core strengths. This could lead to development of more resilient products for difficult times to protect people, businesses, and ecosystems against extreme climate events. 

Thanks to the President & Vice President at Hamburg University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Bjorn Stevens of Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology and Prof. Dr. Kaveh Madani of the United Nations University, we produced the aside video to discuss the concept behind Climate Informed Engineering.
