Climate change is one of the most critical global challenges of our time. Examples of its adverse consequences include extreme weather patterns leading to flooding, droughts, heat waves, storms, and other extreme weather-related events. Other challenges include air pollution, water scarcity, food insecurity and loss of biodiversity.
The scale of the challenge is enormous; yet research outputs in areas that are central to addressing environmental sustainability remain marginal.
The United Nations has declared the years 2024–2033 as the International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development with the principal aim of finding solutions to these global challenges. Science is a common good for humanity and offers fundamental support to a sustainable development model. Engineering and Technology will continue to play a pivotal role in improving the quality of human life, preservation of the planet and delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals.
To create an international platform for sharing knowledge and research findings that contribute to sustainable development through engineering and technological innovations.
