The Engineering With Nature Podcast Season 2 launches March 17

The Engineering With Nature® Podcast Season 2 launches March 17, and we’re pretty excited about the lineup. Host, Sarah Thorne, recently talked with Todd Bridges, Lead Engineering With Nature, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), about the upcoming season. His bottom line: “the future is right
and the future is bright for EWN. It is the right direction for infrastructure and the timing is ideal.”
Why now? The World Economic Forum recently estimated that that by mid-century, $100 trillion dollars will be invested in infrastructure around the world. As Todd notes, the challenge is how to deliver the most value for that investment and how EWN can expand and diversify the value produced. Join us and our guests as we discuss climate change, coastal resilience, flood risk management, and the need to adapt to
a range of changing conditions in the natural world. We’ll be talking with leaders from USACE, scientists and project
managers, and diverse experts from national and international agencies, public and not-for-profit organizations, and
academia about their visions for engineering with nature and innovative approaches incorporating natural and nature-
based solutions to address these challenges. We’ll have conversations about new partnerships and multi-disciplinary
collaborations that are creating innovative infrastructure solutions. And we’ll launch two important publications -- EWN
Atlas II and the International Natural and Nature-Based Features Guidelines – and talk with some of the contributors
whose work is helping advance EWN through some truly remarkable solutions applying nature-based approaches to
tough infrastructure challenges. Our round table conversations will demonstrate the power of collaboration and hopefully inspire our listeners to think
about and engage in developing innovative solutions that will create better, more sustainable and resilient communities. JOIN THE CONVERSATION.
