Society needs to consider the impact of climate change on our cities because it is no longer a future challenge; it is a present reality. Cities with their concentrated populations, infrastructure and supply challenges are uniquely vulnerable to climate-related shocks, exposed to risks such as floods, heatwaves, water scarcity and any disruption to their systems. Engineers and decision-makers must embed sustainability and resilience into every stage of the planning and design process to ensure adaptability to these changes. In this introduction to a series on sustainable approaches to the global built environment, we begin a journey that will take us around the world, to meet engineers on the front lines of this civilisational challenge.

Around the world, urban planners are seeking to deliver urban growth and increase access to city centres through the development of transit-oriented communities. These combine new publicly-backed transport infrastructure, with privately-financed residential and commercial development. It's a route to more sustainable cities, but it involves careful navigation of budgetary constraints and the needs of existing communities. Michael Matthys explains some of the challenges of delivering transit-oriented communities in Toronto. He explains some of the challenges, both in terms of engineering, and in terms of meeting community needs. For stations in crowded downtown areas, he describes the importance of maintaining local character, and explains how retrofit might be a suitable solution. Looking further out into the suburbs, he describes policies that can help maintain affordable options for residents, and the engagement needed to ensure community support.

Lismore sits at the confluence of two rivers in New South Wales. Covering more than 1,300 square kilometres, it is home to more than 44,000 people. In 2022, it was hit by a huge flood, the highest on record, followed by a smaller, though still devastating, second flood. Five lives were lost in the disasters, along with 500 properties, making 2,000 people homeless at a cost of AUD 350M in damages. The event raised critical questions about flood prevention and planning. It underscored the urgent need for more resilient approaches to town and city planning, that anticipate extreme events and protect communities and economic activities more effectively. Engeny were initially brought in to improve flood protection, before the flooding demonstrated the existential need for this work. This episode looks at the protection work so far, how it has evolved after the flood, and future plans to meet the increasing risks.

There is a changing view of the environment among public sector clients in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia has ambitious goals like generating 50% of electricity from renewables by 2030, the UAE has targets such as diverting 80 percent of its waste from landfill by by 2031, and Qatar is moving towards 100% treated wastewater reuse. With environmental considerations now at the core of new projects, rather than being a problem to be dealt with, each project must consider its impact on the environment. This means a shift from reacting to problems, to planning with goals being measured. Countries like UAE, Saudi and Qatar, are putting in place long-term plans for strategies that include waste diversion, emissions reductions and renewable energy. In benchmarking these strategies against international standards and best practices, the deployment of digital tools is critical.

Nuclear power promises to provide energy when other sources can't. But nuclear plants currently take a long time to build—often more than a decade. Anthony Burch, digital manager, Egis, and his colleagues, are working on the key components of Hinkley Point C in England. These form the so-called ‘nuclear island'—the reactor building and four associated safety buildings. In this episode, Anthony describes the challenges of delivering ‘right first time' construction on a highly complex, one off, and long term project: Hinkley Point C. He explains the challenges of clash detection on a project that has continued to evolve, and how the use of BIM and digital tools has smoothed this process. He describes how work on this project will feed into future projects, such as Sizewell C, and open the way to a new generation of nuclear power plant construction.

When you are designing a stadium for the World Cup, or any major sport, it's vital to have a fan's-eye view. For more than a century, the architects tasked with designing stadiums have used the C-value, developed by Victorian theatre designer John Russel. But this value just measures the view in one direction, towards the stage. Sporting events are viewed in the round, with fans all around the stadium bowl. In this episode, we hear from Mark Fenwick, whose practice has designed stadiums for the Qatar World Cup, and for leading European football teams. He explains how Fenwick Iribarren has built on the Victorian concept of C-values and sightlines in theatre design, with the FI-Factor, a new system for mapping the spectators' view from each seat in a stadium. Mark describes the sub-factors considered, explains how this was first used during bidding for a new world cup stadium at Education City in Qatar, its subsequent use in Valencia, and its scope for use on other stadiums.

Retrofitting is an instrumental step in reducing the carbon footprint of a city's building stock. It also extends the life of a building and has a lower environmental impact than demolishing inefficient properties and building anew. Even a new development, such as the East Village in Stratford London, although just 12 years old, is still largely heated by fossil fuel. Adaptable designs are critical to bring future improvements to existing structures. Marion Baeli is a pioneer of sustainable architecture, her practice identified easy-to-deliver improvements to energy use on one of the buildings in the development, at the same time as adding capacity that could finance the project.

Lifecycle carbon assessment – the process of monitoring the total carbon footprint of a structure from the first spade in the ground to demolition – sits at the confluence of engineering and sustainability. As we adapt our processes and understanding of the built environment, LCA is a critical measure to guide our decision making. The nature of the work is truly holistic, in winter an icy road might have salt spread on it. This in turn could corrode rebar, which needs to be replaced. That work might close part of the road, which increases vehicle idling times and stop-start driving. All of this impacts LCA. Ali Amiri was an early adopter of the technique, and has devised a means of calculating a building's carbon impact before it's even reached the ground-breaking stage. His team now include lifecycle carbon assessment (LCA) as a routine part of their process. This episode also looks at the intergenerational aspect of the work, where, younger members of the team are bringing the data science related skills that allow them to deliver the LCA as standard.

Sustainability experts often use a hierarchy to help their thinking about interventions. The best way to limit your impact is to do nothing at all. If that's not possible, then use as few materials as you can. And finally, if extensive work must be conducted, then replace more carbon-intensive materials with those with less impacts. In this episode, Lucas Grisoni describes three projects in Paris that demonstrate different approaches to sustainable construction. For the University of Chicago's new campus, the focus has been on reducing the use of materials, both in order to keep the structure light—it is built over a railway—and to minimise carbon impacts. On WoodUp, one of Europe's tallest timber structures, the focus is on selecting a lower carbon material. And on the Eiffel Tower, the historical nature of the project has demanded limited interventions—which has the benefit of reducing carbon impacts, as well as preserving the structure.

For facade specialists, stone is highly prized for its performance and character. The right choice of stone can anchor a building in its local context, or make a striking statement. While stone has fallen out of use, modern approaches mean that it could now be used in the same standardised ways as steel, concrete and glass. In this episode we learn that it is ripe for a return as a structural material, decades after it was supplanted by concrete and steel. A series of projects demonstrate how stone can be used as a structural component. Finally, we look at the steps needed to make stone building a routine part of construction: the adoption of standards, allowing stone components to be used ‘off-the-shelf', rather than needing to prove them each time and an understanding of its versatility.

In the 1970s, Saudi Arabia, buoyed by a surge in oil prices, embarked on an ambitious building programme. The country moved rapidly to develop its cities and infrastructure. However, Prince Salman, then the governor of Riyadh, now the country's King, saw that this was resulting in cities that were unmoored from their local context. This episode traces the evolution of modern architecture in Saudi Arabia, from the economic boom of the 1970s and the development of a distinctive Salmani-style. We look at the national program of incorporating the vernacular in individual buildings, before moving on to the current Vision 2030, describing its approach to wider urban development, passive temperature control, and sustainability. Lastly, we examine lessons for other nations engaged in a phase of rapid growth and urbanisation, and what they can learn from this history.

Wastewater treatment is an overlooked lifesaver. While the medical advances of the last 100 years—penicillin, chemotherapy, and, more recently, mRNA vaccines—have transformed healthcare, keeping our water supplies free from pathogens like cholera and dysentery, has saved many more lives. The systems developed to treat wastewater are so successful that we can afford to flush and forget. But this is infrastructure we must not overlook. Growing populations, increased use by industry, and regulations that get tighter as we learn of new threats to human life and the environment, are putting wastewater treatment facilities under strain. Existing plants are often tucked away on constrained sites, and work as part of a sprawling network of sewage systems that make it extremely difficult for them to be relocated. This is very much the case at Ringsend in Dublin. Here, on a site bounded by other facilities and the sea, the waste produced by millions of Dubliners—and the city's industry and commerce—must be processed before being discharged into the Liffey Estuary. To update the plant, its owners had considered building a 9km pipe to discharge waste outside of the sensitive areas of the estuary. But a new solution was identified. By implementing a novel form of biological treatment, developed by Haskoning, Egis was able to ensure that the effluent discharged was so clean, it would be safe for wildlife. But installing this would take careful planning and scheduling, in order to complete the work in tight constraints, without any pause in plant operations.

Introduction In May 2024, Ambitious Impact (AIM) ran a program to incubate new effective giving initiatives (EGIs) in partnership with Giving What We Can. In short, EGIs focus on raising awareness and funneling public and philanthropic donations to the most cost-effective charities worldwide. In the last few years, several Effective Giving Initiatives, such as Doneer Effectief, Effektiv Spenden, and Giving What We Can, have moved millions in funding to the best charities globally. The success of these and other similar organizations suggests that further initiatives in this space could be highly beneficial, given that many highly effective charities are bottlenecked by access to funding.

Ellis Impact aims to expand effective giving by focusing on high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in New York City. Why HNWIs? Charitable donations are overwhelmingly heavy-tailed. For example, less than 5% of donors account for 40% of donations at existing EGIs such as Giving What We Can and Effektiv Spenden. Why New York City? Home to the largest number of millionaires (>350,000) and a GDP of $1.2 trillion, NYC has the highest wealth concentration in the world and is more economically powerful than many countries with existing EGIs (e.g., Netherlands, Sweden, Norway). It also has the highest charitable giving in the US, totaling $20 billion per year in itemized donations. Near-term plans Our first six months will focus on expanding our local network of prospective donors by attending events (e.g., networking events, conferences, galas) and tapping into existing and under-explored communities in NYC (e.g. EA Finance). We plan to further engage prospective donors through 1-1 advising and hosting our first lean, in-person events to raise awareness around effective giving, bring together like-minded individuals, and introduce them to cause area experts. Targets (reach/giving multiplier/etc.) Our minimum goal for our first nine months is to counterfactually raise our seed funding amount in public donations (>$84,000). Our ambitious goal is to raise three times as many counterfactual donations as we received in seed funding (i.e., $252,000). Room for more funding In late July, we raised $84,000 from the Seed Funding Network, allowing us to run for nine months. We would require an additional $20,000 to extend our runway to 12 months, decreasing the risk of having to shut down before we can demonstrate good results since, according to the experience of other HNW donor advisors, donor relationships potentially take longer than nine months to cultivate. Any funding on top of that would be used for hosting and attending additional and higher-quality events to meet and engage prospective donors. If you are interested in supporting our efforts in other ways, we are currently: Looking for warm introductions to prospective donors in NYC as well as super connectors and ambassadors for future warm introductions. If you know someone you think we shou...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A short comparison of starting an effective giving organization vs. founding a direct delivery charity, published by Joey on January 11, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. CE has recently started a new program to incubate Effective Giving Initiatives (EGIs). Although this is a sub-category of meta charities, I think it has some interesting and unique differences. I expect a decent percentage of people who are interested in the Effective Giving Incubation Program are also considering founding a charity unrelated to effective giving, so I wanted to write up a quick post comparing a few of the pros and cons of each - as I historically have had a chance to found both. A brief history About ten years back, I co-founded Charity Science (later renamed Charity Science Outreach) to raise money for effective charities that had extremely limited marketing and outreach. We used GiveWell and ACE recommendations, selecting AMF and THL specifically as the targets. We did several experiments, diligently keeping track of the results of our time spent and the results. After a couple of unsuccessful experiments (e.g., grant writing, which raised ~$50k in 12 FTE months), we hit some successes with peer-to-peer fundraising (e.g., supporting people donating funds for their birthdays). Depending on how aggressively you discount for counterfactuals, we raised a decent amount of money (in the several 100,000s). Although this was pretty successful, we pivoted to founding a direct charity where our comparative advantage was strongest and could bring the most impact and handed off the projects. Eight years ago, some of the same team members (and a few new ones) founded Charity Science Health. This was a direct implementation charity focused on vaccination reminders in North India. We got a GiveWell seed grant and became a reasonable-sized actor over the course of three years, reaching over a hundred thousand people with vaccination reminders at a very low cost per person (under $1). The trickiest part of this intervention was to (cost-effectively) get the right people to hear about the program, as the signup costs were about 70% of the entire program cost, and targeting was extremely important. A few interventions we tried did not work (mass media, government partnerships), and a few worked well (hospital partnerships, door-to-door surveys). This project eventually merged with Suvita after the founders left to run other projects (including Charity Entrepreneurship itself). In many ways, I feel starting an effective giving org was very useful for later starting a direct implementation charity, as many of the skills overlapped, and it was a less challenging project to get off the ground. In the rest of this post, I'd like to pull out the main takeaways that can be learned from these projects and would be cross-applicable to those considering both career options. Odds of success Founding any project carries a risk of failure. Failure in the case of an effective giving org would most commonly mean spending more than what gets raised for effective charities. Failure with a direct NGO can result in the people you are trying to help being harmed, making the stakes higher and there being more of a downside. In general, founding an Effective Giving Initiative I would expect to have higher odds of success. There are just more points of failure for a direct NGO. It could struggle with fundraising (an issue equally important in EGI) and implementation even if fundraising succeeds. In my view, this, among other factors, makes EGIs have higher odds of success than direct NGOs. Net impact The net impact is tricky to estimate, as the spread is considerable, even within pre-selected CE rounds. This also means that personal fit could overrule this factor. My current sense is that a direct charity has a higher...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why Effective Giving Incubation - Report, published by CE on December 19, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR: At Charity Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with Giving What We Can, we have recently launched a new program: Effective Giving Incubation. In this post, we present our scoping report that explains the reasoning behind creating more Effective Giving Initiatives (EGIs). Learn why we think this is a promising intervention, which locations are optimal for launching, and for whom this would be an ideal career fit. Quick reminder: You can apply to the Effective Giving Incubation program by January 14, 2024. The program will run online from April 15 to June 7, 2024, with 2 weeks in person in London. [APPLY NOW] or sign up for the Effective Giving Incubation interactive webinar on January 4, 5 PM Singapore Time/ 6 PM Japan Time/ 3.30 PM India Time/ 10 AM UK Time/ 11 AM Belgium Time. [SIGN UP] CE is excited about launching EGIs in Ireland, Belgium, Italy, India, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, the US and France. We would appreciate your help in reaching potential applicants who are interested in working in these countries. Connect us via email at: ula@charityentrepreneurship.com One paragraph summary In 2024 we are running a special edition of the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program in collaboration with Giving What We Can focused on Effective Giving Initiatives (EGI). EGIs are entities that focus on raising awareness and funneling public and philanthropic donations to the most cost-effective charities worldwide. They will be broadly modeled on existing organizations such as Giving What We Can (GWWC), Effektiv Spenden, and others. We have identified some possible high-priority countries where we believe they will be most successful. Depending on the country and what is most impactful, these initiatives could be fully independent or collaborate with existing projects. Disclaimer: It is important to note that EGIs, including those we intend to incubate, are independent from CE and make their own educated choices of which charities to promote and where to donate funds. CE does not require or encourage any specific recommended charities (such as our prior incubated charities) to be supported by EGIs. Background to this research Charity Entrepreneurship's (CE) mission is to cause more effective non-profit organizations to exist worldwide. To accomplish this mission, we connect talented individuals with high-impact intervention opportunities and provide them with training, colleagues, funding opportunities, and ongoing operational support. For this scoping report, CE collaborated with Giving What We Can (GWWC) to better understand the opportunities Effective Giving Initiatives (EGIs) present as a high-impact intervention, what contributes to the success of such organizations, and where they might be best founded. GWWC was one of the first organizations to champion giving to high-impact nonprofits, has an extensive global network of people interested in effective giving, and more than a decade of experience operating an organization focused on promoting effective charities. EGIs are organizations or projects that aim to promote, typically in a specific target country, the idea of donating to cost-effective charities. They mostly engage in a mix of educational and fundraising activities, with the explicit aim of trying to move money to the most cost-effective interventions that aim to tackle the world's most pressing problems. This report builds on the experience of Giving What We Can, in-depth interviews with experts in the field and successful founders of EGIs, as well as quantitative & qualitative analysis of potential target areas. This report follows a somewhat different methodology than our regular research process used to ...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Effective Giving Incubation - apply to CE & GWWC's new program!, published by CE on December 5, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Charity Entrepreneurship in collaboration with Giving What We Can is opening a new program to launch 4-6 new Effective Giving Initiatives (EGIs) in 2024. We expect them to raise millions in counterfactual funding for highly impactful charities, even in their first few years. [Applications are open now] In recent years Doneer Effectief, Effektiv Spenden & Giving What We Can have moved huge sums of money ($1.4m, $35m and $330m, respectively) to the best charities globally. We aim to build on their experience and success by launching new EGIs in highly promising locations. These initiatives can be fully independent or run in collaboration with existing organizations, depending on what is most impactful. We'll provide the training, the blueprints, and the all-important seed funding. This 8-week full-time, fully cost-covered program will run online from April 15 to June 7, 2024, with 2 weeks in person in London. We encourage individuals from all countries to apply, and we are particularly excited about applications from our top recommended countries. [Apply by January 14, 2024] Learn more on our website: [EFFECTIVE GIVING INCUBATION] Who is this program for? We invite applicants from all backgrounds, ages, and nationalities. Specific work experience or formal education credentials aren't necessary. During the program, we'll help you join forces with a co-founder from the cohort - someone whose skills and experience complement your own. Together, you'll make up an entrepreneurial team that: Is high in moral ambition: Drives to maximize funds raised and then optimize their impact. Is deeply impartial and open-minded: Focuses on following the latest evidence about the most impactful giving opportunities worldwide. Has a strong focus on tangible results: Pushes for rigor, organization, and accountability to run a tight ship with excellent governance and outcomes. Grows its influence and credibility over time: Builds relationships and acts as a trusted advisor to discerning donors. N.B. One of you may have previous experience in fundraising or strategic marketing, though this is not required. Why do we think this is promising? In the last few years, several Effective Giving Initiatives such as Doneer Effectief, Effektiv Spenden & Giving What We Can have moved millions in funding to the best charities globally, to the nonprofits that are helping the greatest number of those most in need, to the greatest extent. In short, they have made real progress on many of the world's most pressing problems. However, there is still too little funding for highly impactful nonprofits and our internal analysis suggests that EGIs are a proven effective way to raise these funds. This lack of funding takes time away from people who could be working on important problems, who instead have to focus on fundraising. In some cases, this means that high-leverage work won't get done because there is not enough funding, and projects have to shut down or minimize their scope. Established EGIs have developed a deep repository of knowledge, resources, and systems that new actors can build on. Leveraging this has two significant benefits: New EGIs will (a) have a significantly higher chance of successfully launching and (b) be able to move faster and have an impact sooner than they would if they were starting from scratch. CE has an excellent track record of launching highly impactful organizations and has expertise in incubating and training charity founders. GWWC and other effective giving initiatives have expressed their excitement for this new program and will support its development and implementation, as well as directly mentor the new EGIs after the program.

Avec plus de trois millions d'habitants, Casablanca est une ville densément peuplée et très congestionnée. Une difficulté pointée par le plan de déplacement urbain de Casablanca qui a recommandé la réalisation d'un certain nombre de projets de transports en commun de masse. Parmi eux, notamment deux nouvelles lignes de tram, soit 26 kilomètres desservant 39 arrêts. Les travaux sont en cours. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Casablanca, L'organisation spatiale des villes africaines est au cœur de nombreuses discussions. Comment désembouteiller des villes qui ont grandi très vite et qui n'étaient pas conçues pour un usage massif de la voiture individuelle ? La question des problèmes de pollution est également centrale. À Casablanca, ville où le ton au volant monte vite, l'arrivée prochaine de deux nouvelles lignes de tram est bienvenue. Les deux lignes existantes transportent déjà 170 000 personnes par jour, en moyenne plus qu'à Paris. « L'objectif et l'ambition primaire de tous ces projets, c'est vraiment de donner aux Casablancais une alternative réelle à l'usage de la voiture personnelle, explique Shada Taïb, directrice communication de Casa Transport. Ce que l'on constate, c'est que la majeure partie des déplacements à Casablanca sont aujourd'hui des déplacements domicile-travail ou domicile-lieu d'étude. Ce sont des déplacements plus ou moins obligés. L'objectif est de rapprocher les distances, d'ouvrir les opportunités économiques, les opportunités d'études, de travail, et autres à tous les habitants, quel que soit leur lieu d'habitation. » Un chantier aux nombreux défis techniques À la croisée de la ligne 1 déjà existante, la ligne 3 est en cours de construction. Les futures voies encadrent déjà une belle allée de palmiers. Yves Genevois nous fait la visite du chantier : « Il y a quelque chose de très important ici, c'est ce nez de quai, cette pierre-là en granit qui est énorme, elle est belle comme tout. On a gardé ce principe d'aménagement de la station. » Yves Genevois supervise les travaux pour l'entreprise Egis. « C'est anodin, mais trouver des carrières qui puissent fournir rapidement ces pierres-là, ce n'est pas facile non plus. Donc aujourd'hui, l'un de nos problèmes, c'est d'avoir ces pierres en temps et en heure. On devrait avoir toutes ces pierres, mais là, elles arrivent au compte-goutte. On pensait effectivement qu'on aurait des problèmes techniques ; on en a d'autres. Des problèmes d'approvisionnement, par exemple, en équipement électronique... Mais la bordure de granit, on pensait que ce serait assez anodin, en fait pas du tout. » Ce chantier présente de nombreux défis : une dizaine d'ouvrages d'art, des passages en dénivelé, des rues densément habitées… Pour mener ce chantier à bien, Casa Transport avait par ailleurs certaines conditions. « Ce n'est pas vraiment un défi, c'est un choix du maître d'ouvrage qui a décidé de faire travailler en priorité des entreprises marocaines, qui n'avaient pas forcément de compétences, reconnues en tout cas, dans nos domaines particuliers de pose de voies, explique Yves Genevois. On a relevé ce défi, on n'avait pas le choix, et le maître d'ouvrage a voulu donc que se soient des entreprises marocaines qui prennent la main sur ces gros travaux d'infrastructure. C'était un pari, ça a l'air de bien marcher, et aujourd'hui, on peut dire qu'on a pratiquement réussi à faire ces travaux-là. » La mise en service de ces deux lignes est prévue pour fin 2023. Casablanca comptera alors six lignes de transports en commun de masse, quatre de tram et deux busway. ► À lire aussi : Le rail, une solution pour désengorger les mégapoles africaines
