- International investment in sustainable infrastructure: The role of public-private partnerships3.53 MB
The global investment landscape is at a critical point. Despite various commitments and frameworks aimed at financing sustainable development, international investment in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains inadequate.
A widening infrastructure financing gap
Many of the poorest countries continue to miss out on essential funding, as they currently face an annual SDG financing gap of $4.3-trillion, primarily in infrastructure.
This gap is expanding due to geopolitical instability, macroeconomic uncertainty, and fiscal pressures, with renewable energy investments alone accounting for $2.2-trillion per year.
The global infrastructure investment shortfall is expected to exceed $15-trillion by 2040, highlighting a significant challenge ahead.
