What is Sustainability Engineering?
The term "Sustainability" comes from the principle of International Environmental Law "Sustainable development", which is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs".
Applying this principle to the practice of engineering, Sustainability Engineering is defined as:
The exercise of engineering with a long-term, wide and transgenerational inclusive view. It means to conceptualise, design, produce, operate and manage engineering endeavours with the objective to use natural resources and energy effectively and efficiently, minimising environmental impacts, while working towards ethically and responsible governance. Essentially, it is to evaluate sustainability issues, develop strategies and implement practical solutions to any organisation, business, institution and society to achieve a resilient future for all.
