Global Engineering Congress and the UN SDGs

Like

According to the ICE website In October, ICE and the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO) are bringing together the worldwide community to look at how we can trigger real change and deliver the outcomes specified by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. ASCE is contributing to the program and supporting implementation of the UN SDGs through its participation in AAES and the WFEO.

The Congress is organized around streams - climate, water, cities, energy, and innovation that align with the Goals 13 - climate, Goal 6 - Water, Goal 11 - Cities, Goal 7 - Energy, and Goal 9 - Infrastructure, Industry, and Innovation.

Progress on all of the Goals except Goal 13 has been reviewed at the UN and progress on Goal 13 will be reviewed in 2019 so the Congress is timely. The completed reviews provide important background for the discussions that will take place at the Congress.
