Therefore\, speakers who are from diverse backgrounds\, from different parts of the world\, will speak to the theme through the highlighted SDGs and interrogate them. All of this form a critical core for progress and t he webinar aims to further promote knowledge and thus catalyze action. By addressing these interconnected SDGs along with Resilience of Women\, we a im to achieve holistic development and promote the creation of sustainable communities\, that prioritize the well-being of individuals especially fe males\, equity\, and environmental stewardship. The discourse therefore hi ghlights the fact that women play a crucial role in driving progress towar ds achieving each of those goals.\n\nThe theme of the webinar contemplates a resilient world which can only be achieved by the integration of the SD G’s and how a resilient woman in any color\, race\, tribe or social stra ta is the mainstay of such a world. The speakers will discuss how resilien t women are instrumental in driving progress across various SDGs as well a s their contributions in health\, education\, gender equality\, water and sanitation\, energy\, industry and infrastructure and cities\n\nExpected o utcomes\nThe Women in Engineering Committee\, in partnership with INWES an d ICSI and various Country Engineering institutions across the world\, thr ough collaborative discussions proposes that an integrated approach to pro moting the SDGs related to health\, education\, gender equality\, water an d sanitation\, energy\, climate\, water and sanitation\, industry and citi es\, climate action\, and cities are vital for achieving sustainable devel opment and creating a more equitable and resilient world for all. \n\nThe emphasis will be that empowering and supporting women is therefore crucial for realizing the full potential of the SDGs and building a sustainable f uture. By recognizing and empowering resilient women\, we can accelerate p rogress towards achieving all the SDGs.\n\nThe webinar also celebrates and disseminates examples of SDG implementation in action\, with a focus on t he Role of Women and Resilience (both personal and societal).\n\nModerator s:\n\nYetunde Holloway (Nigeria)\, WFEO-WIE Chair\nEnyonam Kpekpena (Ghana )\, WFEO-WIE Theme-2 Lead\n\nOpening Remarks: \n\nJosé Vieira (Portugal)\ , WFEO President\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAnia Lopez (Italy)\, Member of WFEO Execu tive Council - “A more resilient world through female engineering”\nWa i Yie Leong (Malaysia)\, WFEO-WIE Theme-1 Lead - “Women Engineers in Ind ustrial Revolution 5.0”\nRichard Coackley (UK)\, Member of WFEO Executiv e Council - “What the World is missing: The most Resilient but hidden po tential” \nSavina Carluccio (UK)\, Executive Director\, ICSI - “Women taking action on infrastructure resilience”\nYetunde Aladeitan (Nigeria) \, National Technical Secretary\, APWEN - "Green Innovators: Women Pioneer ing Sustainable Energy Technologies”\nCillia Molomo-Mphephu (South Afric a)\, Vice-President\, SAIMechE - “Closing the Innovation Gap in Infrastr ucture Management: The underrated role of women”\n\nClosing Remarks:\n\n Mustafa B.
