As part of the UIA2020 Congress activities, the Institute of Architects of Brazil, in partnership with CAU/BR, will produce a publication featuring Brazilian architecture and urbanism projects aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in an effort to showcase sustainable architectural and urban planning practices.
The SDGs are part of the 2030 Agenda launched by the United Nations (UN) to end poverty and ensure a life of dignity for all. Architects and urban planners interested in submitting projects for the publication can fill out the registration form until March 15, 2020.
Selected projects may also be featured in an exhibition being prepared in partnership with the UIA's SDG Commission, of which the IAB is a member.
About the 2030 Agenda
The document Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by UN member states in 2015. It is an action plan for people, planet, and prosperity, which seeks to strengthen universal peace. The plan outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets. These clear objectives and targets are designed for all countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities, acting in a spirit of global partnership to guide choices that improve lives, both now and in the future.
