WFEO is actively invested in the fulfillment of the SDGs

WFEO is actively invested in the fulfillment of the SDGs through multiple actions undertaken by our members, Committees and Working Groups since several years.

The Working Group on Engineering and Climate Change has chosen to focus its efforts on SDG 13 (Climate Action).

This theme was previously addressed by the Committee on Engineering and the Environment, prior to the October 2023 Prague General Assembly.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
