Developing tomorrow’s industry.

Future industry must play a leading role in advancing sustainable development as outlined bythe 2030 Agenda and the more general sustainable development agenda. In other words, industries must actively contribute to development; in developed countries, where environmental sustainability, in particular, needs to accelerate, and even more so in developing countries, where industry represents the backbone of development and needs to be balanced to meet the needs ofeconomic growth and social development, while avoiding the negative environmental impacts thataccompanied industrialization in developed countries.
