Our mission is to make the UN Sustainable Development Goals accessible to built environment professionals…
Harness the capability and capacity of the global engineering community to accelerate the delivery of the sustainable development goals for the benefit of society. Bring about a transformation in the delivery of infrastructure through leadership, advocacy, nurturing collaboration and building knowledge and skills.
In 2018, ICE hosted the Global Engineering Congress in London. Held in collaboration with engineering organisations from around the world, it brought together thousands of delegates from more than 80 countries to address the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and led to the signing of an inter-institutional statement of intent. The sustainability route map transforms learning from the Congress into actions.
In 2015 the United Nations’ member states agreed to adopt 17 international Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and achieve them by 2030. These goals have become the benchmark for sustainability; they are universally applicable and integrated to facilitate a domino effect of change.
The infrastructure designed and built by our members is the critical interface with our planet. It dictates the patterns and flows through which we live our daily lives and affects our long-term well being. As the infrastructure becomes more interconnected and demands more resources, we have an ever increasing responsibility to ensure that it contributes to sustainability as described through the SDGs.
Following the GEC, three areas of impact were identified and agreed as forming the different strands of the action plan:
Measuring, monitoring and reporting is important because if we do not monitor and measure, we will not know if our interventions are delivering the desired change. Reporting is also important because it helps engagement. Having to report on progress and having sound data in the public domain changes attitudes and priorities. This will deliver the following objectives:
Making progress on the SDGs against the demands of the global megatrends will require new skills and greater capacity and capability, especially in the developing world where engineers are less likely to have the support of effective professional bodies locally. The partner organisations are well placed to support the development of the necessary engineering capacity, knowledge and skills. An effective development programme will deliver the following objectives:
Infrastructure is heavily networked and interconnected. Sustainable development of infrastructure therefore requires a systems approach. Existing systems capability can be extended into new geographies and new contexts. This will deliver the following objectives:
The Sustainability Route Map outlines our activities over the next three years. It shows the key activities that were identified during and after the Global Engineering Congress and plots a course for how we plan to transform how engineers engage with the SDGs. Activities for the route map will be delivered through our three working groups.
