From ancient water systems to artificial intelligence, engineering has always driven human progress and remains essential to building sustainable and resilient societies.
To design solutions that truly serve all, inclusive participation is key. Yet women remain significantly underrepresented in engineering worldwide.
At UNESCO, we advance gender equality in science and engineering by challenging stereotypes, promoting women role models, and strengthening leadership through initiatives such as GenSIS (Gender-Inclusive Science Institutions and Systems).
Today is World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, reaffirming the importance of science, cooperation and inclusive innovation in addressing global challenges.

Africa, in the future, could be seen as pulling the final plug on global atmospheric warming. And given the 2085 population projection, future Africans will be among the primary beneficiaries.
Interesting article.

Trees are "biological machines." 🌳
Data shows:
- 1 tree = cooling power of 10 AC units
- Trees lower surface temps by up to 12°C
- Urban forests help slash energy bills & urban heat island effect
Time to move trees from the "Landscaping" budget to "Infrastructure"?
This is an interesting guideline developed based on the Canadian context. However, I believe it provides valuable insights that African countries can use to develop sustainable healthcare practices based on their national context.
