Presentation Abstract:

Due to depletion of natural resources\, increased natural d isasters\, waste\, greenhouse gas emissions\, pollutant generation\, and e nvironmental deterioration\, and loss of biodiversity\, geotechnical engin eers are facing new challenges. While it is generally believed that the co ncepts of sustainable development must be followed for protecting future g enerations\, it is much easier said than implemented. Therefore\, the focu s of this talk will be to focus on the application of the principles of su stainable geoengineering to \; projects and processes. Some tools and frameworks for evaluating and implementing sustainable practices will be p resented. \; The use of environmental\, social and economic indicators for measuring and comparing design options will be demonstrated. Best pra ctices in carrying out Indigenous engagement and consultation will be high lighted. Finally\, case studies and examples of sustainable practices in d esign in addition to the challenges and needs for the future will be inclu ded. The role of geotechnical engineers in sustainable development has bee n undervalued but is critical for future generations.
