Despite the turmoil in the banking sector, now is not the time to become more risk averse about investing in infrastructure.
This article breaks down the blockers to InfraTech adoption and why they occur. Use this article to deepen your understanding of the repercussions of problems like poorly defined value cases and disparate interests among parties across the timeline.
Infrastructure Technology (InfraTech)
"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.
In response to a call for submissions issued by the GI Hub and eight multilateral development banks (MDBs) in March 2023, nearly 50 technology providers submitted solutions to make roads more sustainable in emerging markets.
The GI Hub is helping ‘connect the dots’ among governments, technology providers, and investors to scale up technological adoption and seize the opportunity for more sustainable roads. Here, we discuss why this is important and what we aim to achieve.
This article examines what trends like slowing globalisation, trade wars, politicisation of trade, and 'friendshoring' mean for infrastructure.
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.
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
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.
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?
We speak with the Colouring Cities Research Programme’s Polly Hudson on how open platforms for building attribute data will help to solve common urban challenges, and help increase the quality, sustainability, efficiency, and resilience of buildings.
The ability of MDBs to maintain their central role in sustainable development in developing countries hinges on the banks’ ability to increase investing capacity and meet the needs of those countries.
Founded in 2022, the GI Hub’s Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) acts as a crucial bridge for dialogue, input, and action that aims to increase private sector participation in sustainable infrastructure.
How can collaboration models and public intervention close the infrastructure gap to increase the value that 5G brings?
Ahead of Climate Week NYC and the United Nations SDG Summit, both taking place this September in New York City, the GI Hub is publishing interviews with public and private sector leaders working at the municipal, state, national, and global levels – bringing you their thoughts on the importance of infrastructure in the climate transition. In this Q&A, John and Nivardo share how the FY2024 New York State Budget is accelerating investment in infrastructure toward climate targets and social equity.
In this Q&A, Philippe explains how PIDG’s 2023-30 Strategy positions action on climate, nature, and sustainability through infrastructure as central to their purpose.
Learn how the transition pathways for sustainable infrastructure link long-term sustainability goals with infrastructure plans.
The GI Hub’s Rory Linehan outlines three critical infrastructure-related areas to watch for at COP28.
Climate change poses a significant threat to infrastructure, with rising sea levels, extreme weather phenomena, and escalating temperatures posing substantial physical risks. These hazards can lead to the degradation of crucial infrastructure assets, undermining social, economic, and environmental stability. Recent analysis by EDHECInfra, as featured in the Global Infrastructure Hub's Infrastructure Monitor report, underscores the scale of the situation. Projections based on current climate and policy scenarios indicate that by 2050, infrastructure assets could see a net value decline of 4.4% on average, and up to 26.7% in the most severe scenarios. This depreciation is a direct consequence of the lack of resilience of global infrastructure to the effects of climate change. The consequences of inaction are far-reaching, affecting not just the financial performance of assets, but also the economic, environmental, and social fabric of communities worldwide. One promising strategy to mitigate these risks involves the adoption of a systemic resilience metrics (SRM) framework tailored specifically to infrastructure.
