2022年3月4日是全球第三个联合国教科文组织“促进可持续发展世界工程日”。

今年的主题是“更智慧地重建——工程建设未来” （Build Back Wiser - Engineering the Future）,旨在彰显工程在全世界更好地、更智慧地从疫情中复苏中的重要作用，加速建设一个可持续的未来。

为迎接2022“世界工程日”的到来，世界工程组织联合会主席龚克教授发表致辞，邀请全球工程界共同庆贺！

2022促进可持续发展世界工程日致辞

世界工程组织联合会主席

龚克

同事们，朋友们，

第三届世界工程日——3月4日——即将到来，世界工程日由世界工程组织联合会倡议，旨在庆祝全球工程成就，动员全球工程师参与推动可持续发展议程。此项倡议由联合国教科文组织于2019年正式通过。

尽管受到疫情冲击，在联合国机构的支持下，全球工程组织、工程院所、工业企业、公民团体、政府机构积极参与世界工程日庆祝活动。特别值得一提的是，在去年的世界工程日活动中，我们见证了第二份联合国教科文组织工程报告的发布，这是一份在全球工程发展中具有里程碑意义的报告。

在新冠肺炎疫情大流行的两年里，我们看到工程方法和关键技术如何在抗击新冠疫情以及在维持生产和服务中发挥了巨大作用。与此同时, 我们强烈意识到，为加速建设一个可持续的未来，全球应当更好、更智慧地复苏，工程师在其中能发挥重要作用。这也是为什么我们将今年的主题定为“更智慧地重建——工程建设未来”。

为了更智慧地重建，首先最需要考虑的是更加开放、创新、负责任地利用科学、技术以及工程。所有的工程行业从业者都应该更好地掌握推动可持续发展所需的知识和技能，尤其是利用像大数据、人工智能、物联网这样的数字技术，来应对日益严峻的全球挑战，诸如气候变化的红色警报、日渐增多的自然灾害和人为灾难以及各种形式的不平等。尤其是，我们需要让更多的青年人、女性群体、女青年参与到工程事业中来，激励他（她）们全情成为这项创新事业的一份子。

“世界工程日黑客松全球赛”已经为今年的庆祝活动拉开了序幕。来自24个国家的超过120个学生团队参与到了此次全球竞赛中。他们针对现实问题，提出工程创新解决方案。我们很欣喜地看到那么多的青年学子投身于寻求促进可持续发展目标实现的工程解决方案中。

为了更智慧地重建，工程界与产业和政府之间的合作伙伴关系具有重要意义。3月4日，我们将举办24小时的全球直播来欢祝这一庆贺时刻，展示全球不同区域在推进可持续发展目标进程中的卓越工程实践，为所有利益攸关方提供交流经验和想法的机会，互相学习，共同合作。

我们欢迎国际社会与我们共同庆贺世界工程日，发挥科学、技术和工程的系统化智慧，通力合作，更智慧地重建，为人类和地球创造一个更加可持续的未来。

Address for World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2022

President of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO)

GONG Ke

Dear colleagues and friends,

The third World Engineering Day (WED) —March 4th is coming right up. WFEO has proposed to establish such a WED for celebrating engineering achievements and mobilizing engineers across the world to accelerate the actions of implementing the SDGs. This proposal was officially adopted by UNESCO in 2019.

In spite of the pandemic, the WED had been celebrated by engineering organizations, academies, industrial companies, civil societies as well as governments, with strong support by UN bodies. Especially on last year’s WED, we have witnessed the launch of the second UNESCO Engineering Report, which is a milestone report in the global development of engineering.

Over two years into the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have witnessed how engineering approaches and key technologies help to combat against COVID-19 as well as in maintaining productions and services. In the meanwhile, we strongly realize that the world should build back better and wiser to accelerate the transformation to a sustainable future, in which engineers have a crucial role to play. This is why the theme of this year’s WED is set as “Build Back Wiser: Engineering the Future”.

To build back wiser, the foremost consideration is to leveraging sciences, technologies and engineering in a more open, innovative and responsible way. For all engineering practitioners, it is required to better master the necessary knowledge and skills for promoting sustainable development, especially to make use of digital technologies such as Big Data, AI and IoT to meet the pressing global challenges, such as code red alarm of climate change, increasing natural and human-made disasters and different forms of inequalities. In particular, we need to engage with more young people, women, and girls so that they are fully motivated to be part of this innovative profession.

We started this year’s celebration with the World Engineering Day Hackathon. More than 120 student teams from 24 countries participate in this global competition. They have submitted various innovative engineering solutions to real-world problems. It is exciting to see so many young people engage themselves in an attempt to develop enabling engineering for sustainable development goals.

To build back wiser, the global partnership and collaboration of engineering, industry and governments are of paramount importance. On March 4th, we will host a 24-hour global live broadcast to celebrate this festive moment, to showcase excellent engineering practices in implementing SDGs in different parts of the globe, to provide opportunities for all stakeholders to exchange their experiences and ideas, to learn from each other, and to cooperate with each other.

We welcome the international community to celebrate the World Engineering Day with us together and to leverage the systematic wisdom of science, technology and engineering to work collectively for building back wiser and to shape a more sustainable future of mankind and the earth.
