LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS OF SUSTAINABILITY
It is crucial that the foundations for a sustainable future of civil engineering are laid today. Focusing on the challenge of technical, social and economical systems successfully interacting with ecological systems is key. This is a collaborative and collective process shared by all levels across all disciplines of civil engineering: planning, design, management, implementation, business, and community. Laying the foundations of sustainability begins with evaluating the past, examining the breakdown of current conditions, recognizing known issues, embracing adversity, and planning with the opportunity for investment for the future. Educating engineers on the importance of their individual impacts is essential and the CECON 2021 program focuses on encouraging this mindset across all engineers for the future, today.
