​Registration: Forging Forward Tenably 2026 / Holistic Engineering 2026

Engineering may be defined as bettering life via the appropriate application of science and mathematics. This bettering encompasses
the lives of both current and the next seven generations. As such, a Cleaner Earth & Atmosphere is the only way to forge ahead. Gro
Harlem Brundtland put this eloquently when she proclaimed, “Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Forging Forward Tenably 2026 and Holistic
Engineering 2026 are about sustaining a good living standard with reduced entropy production. While all processes faithfully follow
the second law of thermodynamics in producing entropy, much can be done in lessening the amount of entropy generated. This
symposium provides a venue for experts from diverse backgrounds to exchange knowledge about their respective state-of-the-art
progress to foster interdisciplinary collaboration to solidify eco-friendly engineering. Topics of interest include sustainable living,
cradle-to-cradle farming and engineering, tenable development, and waste and pollution reduction and management.

2030 – the passing of another courageous deadline?

After more than 50 years of trying to fully harmonize human well-being with that of the
Earth, particularly with regard to defeating anthropogenic climate change, eliminating
poverty and hunger, and embracing a radical transition in energy sourcing on a global
scale, what has been achieved? Will the efforts of the latest attempts embodied in the
2015 triumvirate of UN endorsed resolutions, the ‘Paris Agreement,’ ‘Transforming Our
World: Agenda 2030,’ and the ‘Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction,’ prove to
be successful, and if so, when? If the associated endeavours do not result in the various
triumvirate goals being fulfilled in their entirety, what next? Are the goals overly
ambitious or the targets appropriate but the quantifiable indicators imperfect? The lack
of political will and the shortfall in meeting financial investment commitments are often
citied as the reasons for the continuing performance disappointments but how can
nations with huge debts afford to invest more? With the somewhat short lifetimes of
democratic governments can consistently harmonizing policies be guaranteed to ensure
climate change mitigation and sustainable development? This presentation will address
some of these contentious issues.
