Welcome to this CD about engineers and sustainable development. This CD, prepared by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), has three objectives:

1. To describe the roles engineers play in improving human living standards and protecting and restoring the environment.

2. To review the accomplishments engineers have made toward the sustainability goals defined in Agenda 21, the primary action document of the 1992 Rio Summit.

3. To summarize the ways that engineers can more effectively meet the goals of Agenda 21 in the future.

We hope that the innovative approach used in this CD will provide information about engineers in a form that is both interesting and easy to use. Through the use of tabs and hyperlinks, you can get information with several levels of detail.
