This week, the GI Hub joined nine other global organisations in issuing a call to action to heads of state, policymakers, and multilateral development bank (MDB) officials to scale up private investment in emerging markets and developing countries (EMDCs) to fight climate change and deliver on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The GI Hub has today published Infrastructure Monitor 2023. This year’s edition reveals the mixed state of private investment in infrastructure, where positive trends like strong investment, growing use of sustainable finance, and resilient financial performance exist alongside challenges like low levels of capital raised and persistent disparities between high-income countries and other countries.

Today we released two new supplements to our Infrastructure Monitor report, focusing on the role of blended finance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in infrastructure investment. These latest updates, developed in partnership with Convergence and GRESB, offer a comprehensive examination of both areas, providing valuable insights for infrastructure professionals.
The number of primary private infrastructure transactions increased by 18% in 2022, the strongest annual growth since 2017, largely driven by strong investor appetite for projects supporting the clean energy transition. However, growth was mostly being driven by high-income countries in North America and Western Europe, with private investment activity in middle- and low-income countries seeing a lot less momentum with volumes on par with pre-COVID levels.

Climate change poses a significant threat to infrastructure, with rising sea levels, extreme weather phenomena, and escalating temperatures posing substantial physical risks. These hazards can lead to the degradation of crucial infrastructure assets, undermining social, economic, and environmental stability. Recent analysis by EDHECInfra, as featured in the Global Infrastructure Hub's Infrastructure Monitor report, underscores the scale of the situation. Projections based on current climate and policy scenarios indicate that by 2050, infrastructure assets could see a net value decline of 4.4% on average, and up to 26.7% in the most severe scenarios. This depreciation is a direct consequence of the lack of resilience of global infrastructure to the effects of climate change. The consequences of inaction are far-reaching, affecting not just the financial performance of assets, but also the economic, environmental, and social fabric of communities worldwide. One promising strategy to mitigate these risks involves the adoption of a systemic resilience metrics (SRM) framework tailored specifically to infrastructure.
