World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) 2025 was launched at UNESCO’s Paris headquarters on 4 March 2025, marking the start of a year-long campaign of events, films and related articles and news.

An official International Day, as proclaimed by UNESCO, WED is jointly operated by UNESCO and the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), which spans some 100 countries and represents more than 30 million engineers.

This year’s theme of “Shaping our sustainable future through engineering” highlights the essential role that engineers and engineering have in achieving the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Produced by media partner and broadcaster SJH Studios, the campaign’s wide range of film content was hosted on the WED website. These featured a host of industry-leading organisations from round the world, exploring each company’s unique story of innovation and success.

“World Engineering Day 2025 is all about putting engineering in the global spotlight,” says Mustafa Shehu, President of the WFEO, “showing how engineers are leading the way in the effort to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal targets, and inspiring the next generation to find out more about what a career in engineering has to offer.”
