About the 2024 World Standards Day Theme: Shared Vision for a Better World: Standards for the Changing Climate
Collaboration is the key to achieving shared goals. The U.S. standardization system has the greatest impact when all stakeholders work together. Particularly as our climate continues to change, the standards community and the whole of the built environment must be resilient and ready to face the challenges ahead. In 2024, the standards community will reflect on how we can achieve more through collaborative standardization efforts, developing solutions for complex global challenges. The celebration will highlight how working together can counter the negative impacts of climate change for a better, more resilient, and more equitable world for the next generation.
About World Standards Day
World Standards Day was initially launched in 1970, and is now celebrated by nations around the globe. U.S. activities are organized annually by a planning committee consisting of representatives from the standards and conformity assessment community.
* Please note that WSD is separate from ANSI’s World Standards Week events, but held during the same timeframe.
