Sustainable development is the fundamental challenge facing our generation , and the engineering profession has a clear role to play . Engineering and infrastructure underpin society , and the decisions we make as a profession will help to determine society ’ s future .
ICE is focusing on the five UN Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) where engineers can make the most immediate impact : clean water and sanitation ; affordable and clean energy ; industry , innovation and infrastructure ; sustainable cities and communities ; and climate action .
I see our role as threefold : we must inspire , that is , engage the profession
