Sustainable Infrastructure Finance

Quality, sustainable, low-carbon, and inclusive infrastructure is essential for a livable planet, yet billions lack access to basic services like electricity, clean water, and sanitation. With the right policies and private investment, we can build resilient, climate-friendly infrastructure that drives economic growth and improves lives.

Transport

Transport is vital for economic growth and access to services, yet one billion people are still far from all-weather roads, and road crashes claim over 1.19 million lives annually. Investments in public transport, cleaner technologies, and efficient systems are essential to improving transport, driving development, and enhancing lives.

Investing in sustainable, inclusive infrastructure is essential to create resilient cities and ensure opportunities for all.
