The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals were developed to address humankind's grand challenges to meet the demands and needs of a growing, global population.
They set out a 'bold and transformative plan of action to move us to a more sustainable and resilient path, leaving no one behind.'
Using the SDGs as our framework, we intend to bring about transformative change in the way infrastructure is conceived, planned, financed, designed, built and maintained.
We will provide leadership and advocacy, nurture collaboration, build capacities, knowledge and skills, and share our stories. We will transform our combined knowledge into action.
By organising our work into streams of activity we can develop a route map for coordinated action towards SDG delivery.
We will gain a better understanding of where to focus our efforts and encourage cross-fertilisation of innovation and knowledge. We will identify areas where we need to build our capacity, display leadership and share our stories of success.
