The second map
What engineering is doing for the SDGs
Seventeen goals, thirteen committees and working groups, and the actions WFEO lists under each goal.

Committees per goal: each committee’s and working group’s “SDGs” tab on wfeo.org. Actions per goal: wfeo.org/wfeo-and-un-sdgs (page modified 10 March 2026). Both read 13 October 2026. Goal titles and colours: United Nations.
What the lists show together. SDG 17 (partnerships) is on eleven of the thirteen tabs; SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) is on none, and SDG 16 only on the Committee on Anti-Corruption’s. WFEO’s actions list is richest for goals 5, 4, 13 and 9. The lists also disagree in places: the Capacity Building committee’s own page calls SDG 16 its focus goal, and the Education committee’s page names SDGs 4, 16 and 17, but neither tab lists 16. On the production site, committee pages, SDG tabs and the actions list would draw on the same tags, so they could not drift apart.

On WFEO’s staging menu, Resources is its own section. Here it is merged into this page: each report, code or statement sits with the goal and the committee that produced it, and this list gathers the federation-wide ones.
