What is sustainable development? While many projects set sustainable development as their goal, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to pursuing sustainable development. Especially in a rapidly changing world, continued innovations are essential to respond to both prevailing issues and emerging challenges.
ALMEC examines what sustainable development is through partnerships with donor agencies, governments of developing countries, and the private sector in the form of new planning technologies, comprehensive development planning, and identification of technologies appropriate for each project site.
ALMEC has signed the UN Global Compact and has joined the Global Compact Network in Japan (GCNJ) to help achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
