Interrelated challenges are common bottlenecks in the planning process for linear infrastructure designed to address climate change. This article explores how the Linear Infrastructure Planning Panel is enabling InfraTech for accessible decisionmaking.
The carbon finance market is evolving rapidly but is fragmented and complex. With project and political risks affecting the private sector’s willingness to enter new carbon markets, what can governments of developing countries do to scale up participation?
Drawing on current global developments, GI Hub CEO Marie Lam-Frendo offers five recommendations for how governments can act within the 4Ps of planning, policy, performance, and partnership to leverage infrastructure for economic and social outcomes, and to support the low-carbon transition.
With infrastructure responsible for 79% of global GHGs, JETPs have great potential to rebuild trust among stakeholders and help mobilise private climate finance to support the climate transition and sustainable infrastructure development broadly. The JETP platform offers a valuable sandbox to co-create and validate new approaches and innovations while firming up political will
Public investment is 83% of all investment in infrastructure, and lack of data about how this investment is prioritised and allocated impedes private participation and investment. The GI Hub’s InfraTracker is the first annual tracker of public investment in infrastructure for the G20. This article delves into how we estimate public investment priorities, and why doing so isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.
This article examines what trends like slowing globalisation, trade wars, politicisation of trade, and 'friendshoring' mean for infrastructure.
Today the GI Hub has released Transition Pathways to Sustainable Infrastructure, a new resource to help governments shape future infrastructure to meet global climate targets and the UN Sustainable Development Goals with practical, accessible research and open consultations.

"We have multiple gaps to fund, requiring not billions, but trillions"
Transformative changes are needed to unlock infrastructure financing and fill multiple gaps in financing climate, biodiversity, and infrastructure gtargets.
The GI Hub’s InfraTracker aims to help address this data gap by analysing public investment data presented in G20 government budgets
Comparison of InfraTracker data with private investment figures in Infrastructure Monitor also indicate that, in general, governments are the driver of investment in all infrastructure sectors except for energy.
