Governments play an integral role in creating opportunities for civil engineers and infrastructure professionals to help deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The role of infrastructure toward achieving the SDGs is clear.
What’s less certain is how governments can create opportunities for civil engineers and infrastructure professionals to help deliver transformative change.

Key discussion points included:
- gaining clarity on the 'what' and 'how'
- identify synergies between infrastructure and the SDGs
- creating a positive narrative
- engaging from the bottom up
- locking in promises
