Infrastructure underpins the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is central to climate action.

It connects populations with education and job opportunities. It can help address inequalities and foster peace. It can promote good health and wellbeing. And it is a critical part of communities’ and countries' efforts to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

But in order to achieve the objectives of the SDGs and the Paris Agreement on climate change, we need to profoundly change the way infrastructure is planned, delivered and managed.

We believe that sustainable, resilient and inclusive infrastructure is key to driving progress towards national development priorities and global goals – including climate action.

Around the world, our experts partner with local communities to deliver practical infrastructure solutions that enable people and the planet to thrive. From planning and design, to construction and maintenance, we provide a wide range of solutions – with a strong focus on building local knowledge and capacity.

With partners, we enhance transportation networks, establish renewable energy in underserved communities, build vital health and education infrastructure, and advise governments on ways to make infrastructure more effective.

Through a range of reports, publications and guidance documents, we help partners and practitioners deliver infrastructure that empowers communities, strengthens resilience and promotes a sustainable future that leaves no one behind.
