Description
Delivering on the green transition will require the combined efforts of all infrastructure actors – both public and private. While countries are improving the coherence of their infrastructure planning within government to achieve sustainability objectives, new stakeholders – from the private sector to sub-national governments and non-governmental organisations – bring additional perspectives such as the pressing need to strengthen infrastructure resilience or to look at the biodiversity impact of infrastructure decisions. How can these actors be brought in early enough into infrastructure planning processes to develop a shared vision for sustainable infrastructure?
The session will look at the types of leadership and partnership that are required to deliver on the green transition, for example by incorporating evidence on infrastructure impacts into infrastructure planning and financing, or by standardising reporting and accountability to help scale up sustainable infrastructure investment to support the climate transition?
