Carbon & Climate Consultant
Joining Arup
Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
Arup is an independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical specialists offering a broad range of professional services. Through our work, we make a positive difference in the world.
Decarbonization can apply to a nation, a region, a city, a district, an organization, an infrastructure asset, a building or a product. We work with our clients to help them understand and minimize their impacts by preparing baselines and net zero strategies and targets, developing whole life cycle reduction pathways and supporting implementation. This can involve devising new policies, innovative business models, introducing new technology, training and cultural programmes, to accelerate and manage the complexity presented by the transition.
Shaped by our engineering heritage and informed by our wide range of complementary technical skills, we offer rigorous environmental assessments and management practice to inform and communicate a clear understanding of the environmental issues and opportunities.
