DESCRIPTION:June 25\, 2025 | 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM ET \nAs climate impacts become more frequent and severe\, the engineering profession is confronting heightened expectations and risk—with increased legal scrutiny—to  accommodate reasonably foreseeable future and uncertain conditions into the design process for critical infrastructure. In response\, the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) has released new guidance outlining how to apply the Standard of Care to this new risk environment. \nThis session will provide a timely and practical overview of how climate change is reshaping professional responsibilities across disciplines. From design decisions to liability exposure\, and from client expectations to insurance considerations\, we’ll discuss how engineering leaders can navigate this transformation while maintaining a defensible and resilient practice. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nGain insight into climate trends and how they are driving shifts in project expectations and design standards\nUnderstand the implications of ACEC’s updated guidance on professional duty and legal exposure\nExplore how courts\, insurers\, and clients are responding to the risks of designing in a climate-impacted world\nLearn strategies for balancing resilience\, code compliance\, and contractual scope\nDiscuss practical approaches to managing uncertainty\, risk allocation\, and cost in today’s volatile environment\n\nSpeakers: \n\nJoe Barbagallo\, PE – President of Consulting\, Woodard & Curran\nYvonne Castillo – Director\, Victor Risk Advisory\nAndrew Ratzkin – General Counsel\, POWER Engineers\, Member of WSP\n\nEarn 1 PDH\nFREE for all MEP Coalition Members
