The Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers [IEEE] - a founding society member of United Engineering Foundation (UEF) - will enthusiastically participate in the joint founder society project on (a) evaluation of mitigation technologies for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and (b) promulgation of informed knowledge on climate change to society at large for environmental sustainability in this century. The 38 member societies and seven councils of IEEE offer a very rich resource of intellectual property and manpower to address the carbon footprint issues in the electric power, transportation and building sectors that are responsible most of the energy use around the world today. As various societies of IEEE focus on their own activities related to the reduction of carbon footprint in our daily lives, they will generate ideas and roadmaps that will help in the founding societies’ efforts at a higher level. IEEE is prepared to share its vast technical expertise and outreach resources and work with the founding societies to achieve the goal of carbon footprint reduction. IEEE requests UEF to support this project so the engineering societies may contribute to meeting the grand challenge of the century.
