Publication
The committee contributed to the UNESCO report “Engineering for Sustainable Development: Delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals”, published on 4 March 2021, launched in the context of accelerating actions to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals.
The report highlights the crucial role of engineering in achieving each of the 17 SDGs. It shows how equal opportunities for all is key to ensuring an inclusive and gender balanced profession that can better respond to the shortage of engineers for implementing the SDGs.
The full report is available here and the contribution of the Chair of the Committee on Energy, entitled “Developing sustainable and resilient energy systems”, is from page 88 to page 91.
