Summary:

The International Conference of Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society (SEEDS) brings together global experts to focus on a sustainability agenda and the positive and detrimental changes that are taking place. Papers presented at the conference come from across a broad spectrum of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and bring forward practices to tackle the climate emergency and evaluate their impact. It addresses technical issues, measuring, monitoring, and assessing change, emphasizing the environment, infrastructure, and buildings, how they exist in relative isolation, and the possibilities for sustainable integration. The SEEDS Conference addresses the interdependence of people and the built and natural environments and recognizes the interdisciplinary and international themes necessary to assemble the knowledge required for positive change. Discusses how society can transform into a more sustainable existence; Presents research at the intersection of sustainability, ecology, engineering, and design; Contributions cover a broad spectrum of the UN's Sustainable Goals.
