Africa MD Darrin Green urges all countries involved in COP 28 to honour their commitments "so we can see it happening on the ground. AECOM has the skillset to provide support in this regard. Working globally, from designing and authorising to permitting major infrastructure, we can make a difference." He continues: "It is embedded in what we do, and it is certainly very much a global focus for AECOM. It is all about lifecycle costs and sustainability." The company is working on some of the leading smart cities in the Middle East, which need to address concerns around sustainability, infrastructure and enhanced service delivery. Through AECOM's Regenerative Development Strategies (RDS), the firm has created a framework to contribute to and achieve an overall vision and sustainability rating system requirements for all its scope of works.
