FIDIC has been motivated to outline its leadership response on the behalf of the consulting
engineering community because of the urgency of the climate crisis and the scale of the
changes required. This FIDIC charter sets out in basic, initial terms, how we address climate
mitigation and resilience of the built environment in the years and decades to come. The charter
outlines a series of actions to be taken by the following stakeholders:
• FIDIC itself.
• FIDIC member associations.
• Project teams and schemes.
• Companies.
• Individual professional engineers.
As one of FIDIC’s core principles, sustainability is an important element of FIDICs 2020-2024
Strategic Plan. It is vital as an industry that we embed sustainability in our day-to-day delivery,
lives, and operations and, if done at sufficient scale, it should be possible to normalise
sustainable behaviours and make sustainable solutions the preferred way forward.
