Participaram do evento Fórum Mundial de Engenharia, aproximadamente 500 profissionais de mais de 60 países dos cinco continentes, que concordaram entre outras coisas de que existe uma necessidade urgente para a sociedade de se alcançar projetos e construções sustentáveis de edifícios e de infraestrutura para atender às necessidades de bem estar humano e proteção ambiental.
Foi editada uma “Declaração de Liubliana” afirmando que a WEFO World Federation of Engineering Organizations e seus membros estão prontos, dispostos e capazes de contribuir com a sua experiência, criatividade e dedicação para oferecer os elementos desta Declaração. Concluíram que a Declaração com um desejo, dirigida a líderes mundiais, para envolver a Comunidade Mundial da Engenharia como parceiro de pleno direito na resolução desses problemas complexos, como evoluir para um planeta sustentável.
Foi solicitado às entidades membros que divulgassem a Declaração em seus sites e nos sites de suas filiadas para que muitos engenheiros e habitantes do planeta tomassem conhecimento o quanto possível.
Anexo à presente mensagem colocamos o texto original em PDF e uma tradução livre que fizemos para o português.
Paralelamente ao evento tivemos oportunidade de sermos convidados a participar de duas reuniões muito importantes para a FEBRAE.
A primeira foi o 5º Encontro de Presidentes das Organizações de Engenharia da Europa, onde também presidentes de outras organizações da engenharia (Austrália, China, EEUU, Canadá, Koreia, Japão) também participaram. Durante a reunião, foi apresentada a visão da ECCE (European Council of Civil Engineers) sobre a mobilidade de engenheiros na Europa e no mundo, incluindo exibição do documento de reconhecimento profissional em estudo para implantação na Europa dentro de alguns meses.
A outra reunião, a convite do presidente da WEFO senhor Adel El Kharafi (Kwait), com a delegação brasileira, para demonstrar sua admiração pelo nosso país e apresentou formas de cooperação entre a WEFO e a FEBRAE para o desenvolvimento técnico de engenheiros de todo o mundo.

LJUBLJANA DECLARATION ON SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Members of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations Executive Council and the
participants of the World Engineers Forum 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, agreed to this Declaration.
Considering that:
• there is an urgent societal need to achieve sustainable design and construction of
buildings and infrastructure to meet the needs of human well being and environmental
protection;
• existing and new technologies combined with improved processes and procedures will
enable implementation and management for sustainable construction of buildings and
infrastructure;
• implementable solutions for sustainable construction must account for local and
regional needs, cultures, priorities, and available human and financial capacity;
• development proposals and projects require thorough analysis of their technical,
economic and environmental feasibility and social and cultural impacts, before their approval
and implementation;
• international standardization on sustainability principles in buildings and engineered
infrastructure is rapidly developing;
• there are many methods for sustainability assessment of buildings and infrastructure
available worldwide;
• it is necessary, through interdisciplinary collaboration of engineers, architects, planners
and scientists, to implement effective solutions and new models for communities due to rapidly
changing demographics and living conditions.
Declare that:
Sustainability and reliability of buildings and infrastructure for communities should be considered
through integrated design by multidisciplinary teams, who are committed to life-cycle analysis
(project inception to end of service life).
Substantial technological improvement as well as sound, evidence based policies are needed to
assure construction of sustainable buildings and the supporting infrastructure services
(transportation, water and wastewater, gas pipeline, electrical distribution and communication
systems).
By exchanging and applying scientific and technical knowledge, innovation and practice, engineers
create sustainable solutions to the design, construction, operations, maintenance and
decommissioning of buildings and infrastructure that support communities, for:
• Buildings
• o by applying sustainability assessment methods and tools, based on
life-cycle analysis including economic, social and environmental effects;
• o by using internationally agreed indicators for building sustainability with
consideration of local factors;
• o by using “Environmental Product Declaration” in design of green
buildings;
• o by implementing integrated design, based on the multidisciplinary
project teams;
• o by integrating criteria for sustainable building design of socially
acceptable facilities in response to demographic trends.
Communities
• o by analyzing and considering demographics and the trend of
urbanization in land use planning;
• o by considering population mobility in development concepts of large
urban centers;
• o by complying with sustainability criteria in planning, design,
construction, operations, maintenance and decommissioning of infrastructure projects;
• o by using sustainability rating tools for communities and infrastructure.
Disaster Risk Management
• o by mitigating unacceptable impacts of manmade and natural disasters
through sustainable planning;
• o by incorporating resilience to maintain the operation of critical systems
essential for the functioning of a community such as, transportation, water and
wastewater, gas pipeline, electrical distribution and communication systems.
The World Federation of Engineering Organizations and its members are ready, willing and able to
contribute their expertise, creativity and dedication to delivering the elements of this Declaration.
We urge the world’s leaders to engage the World Engineering Community as a full partner in
addressing these complex challenges as we evolve into a sustainable planet
