The brief emphasizes the importance of sustainable infrastructure for meeting global sustainability goals, particularly the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement targets on climate change. Infrastructure plays a crucial role in achieving a just, low-carbon economy while driving sustainability outcomes, such as clean energy access (SDG 7) and sustainable urban development (SDG 11). Governments are key players in developing infrastructure aligned with these goals, supported by responsible investment practices.

The paper underscores aligning infrastructure planning with SDGs and climate resilience goals for 2050. This paper also suggests collaboration among policymakers, investors and other stakeholders to ensure infrastructure supports a global economic transition toward sustainability while addressing social and environmental concerns.
