On March 4th, 2022, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) hosts the North American hub of the UNESCO World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) — the first 24-hour live broadcast of a Global UNESCO Day. The World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development is an official international day proclaimed in 2019 by the United Nationals Educations, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). This was based on a proposal from the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO). WED is an opportunity to celebrate engineering, and the contribution of the world’s engineers for a better, sustainable world. Stream the event at https://worldengineeringday.net.

BOSTON, MA, October 25, 2021 — ClimaTwin™, Climate Risk Analysis for Infrastructure Digital Twins™, is proud to recognize the Federal Climate Adaptation Plans by the The Office of the Federal Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO). As directed by President Biden’s January 28, 2021, Executive Order 14008, major Federal agencies are required to develop an adaptation and resilience plan to address their most significant climate risks and vulnerabilities. On October 7, 2021, the White House announced the release of more than 20 Federal Agency Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plans. As part of these efforts, agencies will embed adaptation and resilience planning and implementation throughout their operations and programs and will continually update their adaptation plans.

About the Office of the Federal Chief Sustainability Officer
President Biden has charged the U.S. Federal Government to lead by example by sustainably managing its footprint of over 300,000 buildings, over 600,000 vehicles, and $650 billion spent annually on goods and services. He issued Executive Order 14008 during his first week of office, calling on the Federal Government to align its management of property and procurement to support robust climate action while creating new jobs and catalyzing the country’s clean energy industries.
Along with agency partners, the Office of Federal Chief Sustainability Officer is leading the development of the Federal Government’s plan to create jobs and stimulate clean energy industries by revitalizing sustainability efforts, transitioning the Federal fleet to zero emission vehicles and powering Federal operations using 100 percent 24/7 carbon pollution-free electricity. The Federal Government will lead by example to help achieve a 100 percent clean energy economy by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Office of the Federal Chief Sustainability Officer is part of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
