43 on how engineering contributes to sustainable development ; we must supp- ort engineers with the skills and evid- ence to help create change ; and we must act to translate the SDGs into an engineering-specific plan on how we as a profession can reach these goals .
Are there any other SDGs ICE can support , perhaps less directly , such as health and wellbeing or gender equality ?
The SDGs are interlinked and interdependent . By helping engineers to deliver progress on the SDGs most obviously relevant to our profession , we will also lay the foundation for progress across all the goals . Infrastructure provision enables the achievement of social and economic goals , leading to better quality of life and reduced inequality .
Regarding education and gender equality specifically , engineers have to tackle these issues within the context of our profession . It ’ s no secret that engineering could be more diverse , and this starts at a very young age in early education . I ’ m therefore especially proud of ICE ’ s work with the UK Government ’ s Year of Engineering campaign ,
