In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – “a plan for people, planet and prosperity”, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that serve as a roadmap for the national and international policies that should be implemented to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Society, Economy, and Environment are recognized as the three pillars for sustainable development. After several attempts to identify and agree upon a global policy for a sustainable future, it is time for implementation. It is time now for global Engineers to get involved in order to bring results in the direction of the implementation of the SDGs.
Two European Civil Engineering associations, the European Civil Engineering Education and Training Association (EUCEET) and the Association of European Civil Engineering Faculties (AECEF) join forces to investigate the very important issue of “The role of education for Civil Engineers in the implementation of the SDGs”. The topics of the conference are related, but not limited, to the following SDGs:
- SDG4 – Quality education
- SDG6 – Clean water and sanitation
- SDG7 – Affordable and clean energy
- SDG8 – Decent work and economic growth
- SDG9 – Industry, innovation, and infrastructure
- SDG11 – Sustainable cities and communities
- SDG13 – Climate action
- SDG14 – Life below water
- SDG15 – Life on land
