World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) is an official UNESCO International Day, proclaimed in 2019 and based on a proposal from the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO). The theme for WED 2025, “Shaping Our Sustainable Future Through Engineering”, highlights the essential role that engineering has to play in achieving each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Engineering is crucial for sustainable development and the role of engineers is vital in addressing basic human needs such as alleviating poverty, supplying clean water and energy, responding to natural disasters, constructing resilient infrastructure, and bridging the development divide, among many other actions, leaving no one behind.
