Over the last century, large-scale industrial activities, rapid population growth, urbanization, and inequality have had adverse effects on the earth, our lives, and the well-being of future generations. Sustainable development has become more important than ever, and global standards play a key role in supporting the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of our planet and human society.
In celebration of World Standards Day 2020, IEEE SA invited global communities to share their thoughts on the question: How do standards protect the planet? We were impressed by the quality of the video responses and the enthusiasm for protecting the planet. We would like to thank everyone who entered and are excited to introduce this year’s winners!
