What the book explores

This beautifully presented hardback book explores the ICE and UN’s shared commitment to shaping a better future and addresses the diverse challenges that lie ahead. These challenges are informed by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the UN agencies involved in implementing them, and the ways in which engineering can provide rigorous, long term solutions.

Featuring contributions from a host of UN agencies, as well as such prominent organisations as WaterAid and Oxford University, the book highlights engineering’s vital impact in such areas as health and sanitation, human rights, the climate, urban growth, economic development and agriculture.

“Engineering can provide rigorous, long term solutions to the diverse challenges that lie ahead.”
