In an exclusive interview, the World Federation of Engineering Organizations’ (WFEO) immediate past president Prof. Dr. GONG Ke discusses the value of engineering in global development, its role in achieving UNSDGs, and WFEO’s successful partnership with World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC).
WGIC Executive Director Barbara Ryan will deliver a special remark at the Opening Ceremony of the BRICS Forum on Big Data for Sustainable Development.
WGIC spoke to Paloma Merodio, Vice President and Member of the Board of INEGI, who is also the Co-chair at UN-GGIM, who played a crucial role in publishing the SDGs Geospatial Roadmap.
The 11th session of the UN-GGIM saw the release of ‘Geospatial Industry Advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’, the latest report by UN-GGIM’s Private Sector Network.
The report “Towards the Localization of the SDGs”, facilitated by UCLG, provides an analysis of LRGs’ efforts to respond to the pandemic in cities and territories worldwide, as well as their connections with the SDGs under review.
WGIC Member Cyient, a global engineering and technology solutions company, pledges to become a carbon and water neutral business by 2025. Cyient announced a holistic sustainability framework with its first sustainability report. By adopting the framework, Cyient ensures that the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects are strengthened across the value chain with strong leadership commitment, collaborative partnership, and an empowered ecosystem enabling long-term sustainable value generation.
