A Global Initiative for Sustainable Engineering

World Engineering Day, celebrated annually on March 4th, is an initiative led by UNESCO to highlight the crucial role of engineering in building a more sustainable world. Engineering solutions play a fundamental part in addressing global challenges, including climate change, resource efficiency, and sustainable industrial practices. The 2025 edition of WED will take place at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, where leading companies and institutions will showcase their contributions to sustainability through innovation and responsible resource management.
