This paper deals with the impacts of the Sustainable Development Goals to the international standards of construction law. At first, the paper will give an overview about the nature of construction contracts and will describe two common forms of contracts: the International Federation of Consulting Engineers and the New Engineering Contract. In addition, there will be a description of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially about the Sustainable Development Goal 9: Built resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Then, the paper deals with how the Sustainable Development Goals can be implemented in the construction industry and what framework is needed. Moreover there will be an example of the Bechtel Company, which already implemented sustainability in their construction projects and thus should be role model for other companies. In the end there will be a conclusion outlining how the construction industry has changed because of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
