UN Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals,
were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to
action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace
and prosperity by 2030.
The 17 SDGs are integrated—that is, they recognize that action in one area will
affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic
and environmental sustainability.
Through the pledge to Leave No One Behind, countries have committed to fast-
track progress for those furthest behind first. That is why the SDGs are designed
to bring the world to several life-changing ‘zeros’, including zero poverty,
hunger, AIDS and discrimination against women and girls.
Everyone is needed to reach these ambitious targets. The creativity, knowhow,
technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve
the SDGs in every context.
The main objectives are the action to call end poverty, protect the planet and
ensure that the people enjoy prosperity and peace. Sustainable development
basically has the purpose of addressing the global challenges which in particular
would be the environment, climate change, and some more.
The United Nations has replaced its Millennium Development Goals with 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that seek to eradicate extreme poverty
and hunger, promote economic growth and prosperity, improve health and
education and protect the planet.

UN Sustainable Development Goals: How the

Engineering Materials will play its role in
fulfilling the UN 2030 agenda
• The complex nature of such SDGs often necessitates solutions based on

complex systems that will require wide-ranging skills, lateral thinking
and knowledge transfer between various social, life and physical sciences
as well as engineering disciplines.
• With the supportive contexts in briefing the overall scenario of
Engineering Materials that develop the new engineering materials have
followed a quite essential number of different pathways and
opportunities, depending on both the nature of the problem and the
attempt is being pursued and the means of adopting the technology.
• A fundamental SDG challenge will be to engineer the infrastructure for
universal access to green sources of energy, clean water, sanitation and
public services in a manner that is well planned, managed and maintained
to satisfy basic needs for all. Furthermore, engineering solutions to urban
infrastructure will be central to determining the quality of life for a
rapidly growing urban population and the health of the planet as a whole.
• The emerging and rapidly growing field of healthcare engineering offers
several exciting, expansive and multi-criteria challenges combining the
potential of some of the most advanced engineering and technological
breakthroughs with their complex ethical, social and societal
considerations
• In tackling climate change, the goal will be to decouple growth from its
environmental footprint and seek engineering solutions that help redesign
the entire value chain. This is not about accepting and prioritising
strategies to make business resilient to climate change, but rather enacting
radical change to eliminate such scenarios. This entails engineering the
movement away from linear consumption and production patterns and
developing proactive approaches to reducing waste. The long-term
challenge lies in the translation of scientific discoveries in circular use of
resources into practical solutions.

• The social and societal dimension of SDGs demand a deeper

understanding of the specific needs of people, consumers and general
users of engineering solutions, and where possible the adoption of a user-
centric approach to innovation and development.
• Along with breakthrough in discovery of new materials have included the
wide ranges from pure serendipity, with trail-and-error approaches, to
design by analogy to existing system.
• The social and societal dimension of SDGs demand a deeper
understanding of the specific needs of people, consumers and general
users of engineering solutions, and where possible the adoption of a user-
centric approach to innovation and development.
• The certain involved in the methodology will remain important in the
development of Engineering Materials but as there occur challenges and
requirements for new engineering materials become more complex, the
opportunity needs to design and develop new material from the molecular
scale (with best use of methods) through macroscopic final product will
become increasingly important.
• The specific goals related to elimination of hunger and long-term global
food security demand a special focus on a sector which has not
comparatively enjoyed a very high level of engineering research
investment to investigate new and sustainable sources of food ingredients,
innovative farming, processing and preservation technologies as well as
the most efficient management and valorisation processes for food waste
across the entire supply chain.
• The emerging and rapidly growing field of healthcare engineering offers
several exciting, expansive and multi-criteria challenges combining the
potential of some of the most advanced engineering and technological
breakthroughs with their complex ethical, social and societal
considerations.
• An illustration with Timber, steel and cement are the materials which are
widely used for engineering applications in huge quantities. The
consumption of steel in any country is considered an indicator of its
economic well, being.
• Engineering-based net positive and regenerative approaches (Rahimifard
and Trollman 2017) will enable manufacturers to advance beyond
incremental efficiencies and create resilient platforms for sustainable
growth. Poverty may be overcome through technological leapfrogging as
it will enable countries to avoid traditional growth patterns. Laying these
new industrial foundations based on the use of both the existing and
emerging technologies will be a major engineering challenge.

• In achieving the SDGs, engineers will be challenged to meet the needs of

a growing global population while minimising the pressure on our
planet’s resources, and will need to focus on resource consumption in a
way that does not exceed ecological limits. Efficiency improvements are
insufficient to achieve this. Only a transition away from economic growth
as the chief indicator of human progress will facilitate global scale decent
livelihoods.
• The focus on transformation of outcomes and results from engineering
research into real-life and notable impacts are fundamental for improving
quality of life, increases in productivity and associated growth in trade
and access to education and work at regional, national and global levels.
• Such unique modern challenges oblige and encourage the engineering
community to work closely with experts from fields that they may not
have interacted with previously, and to overcome inherent and
fundamental barriers to their cooperation.
• Open data infrastructures are an engineering opportunity to create public
web-based freely accessible data to share knowledge and support
innovation. Such effective, efficient and equitable data infrastructure will
generate value for this and succeeding generations.
• The above-mentioned engineering challenges highlight an urgent need for
a significant increase in engineering capabilities and capacity in every
region of the world through direct engagement with younger generations,
and in particular women who are significantly underrepresented in a
majority of engineering disciplines. In addition, these challenges clearly
necessitate the inclusion of the underlying principles of sustainable
development at the heart of engineering education.

Engineers will play a vital role in realising the

UN Sustainable Development Goals
• Engineers will play a crucial role in delivering the SDGs. Traditional

infrastructure solutions to expand access to clean water or energy, or that
make cities function more efficiently can have a huge impact on those
who benefit from the service. But today’s engineers are required to think
beyond hard infrastructure solutions. Increasingly, physical infrastructure
needs to be complemented by social infrastructure to realise the most
benefit.
• The battle for a sustainable future will be won or lost in the world’s cities.
Specifically, how we design, locate, build, and finance urban
infrastructure will be the central determinant of the quality of life and
health of the planet in the century to come.
• The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a universal
framework to tackle the biggest problems facing our planet. From ending
world hunger to improving global healthcare, the SDGs seek to shape
development policies and investment to deliver the best impact. They go
further than the Millennium Development Goals, which expired in 2015,
by bringing more focus to the root causes of problems, with added
emphasis on human rights and gender equality.
• Technology and infrastructure – both improved access to existing
solutions and new innovations– will be key to addressing these problems,
and enabling growth in trade, access to education and work, as well as
increases in productivity on a local, national and international scale.
