Population growth and economic development, aggravated by climate change, will increase pressure on energy and water resources. Integrated planning can make the most of these two essential and scarce resources. Thirsty Energy, a World Bank initiative, helps countries address these issues and ensure sustainable development of both resources. This note focuses on the water needs of the power sector and particularly answers the following questions: Why is this issue important? Do power plants need all that much water? What about other types of plants? What are the challenges? and, What are our options?

This paper examines the impact of the STAR highway in the Philippines on public finance.
Private infrastructure investment has been stagnant for eight years running, however the number of transactions has been trending up since 2016. This is mainly due to a tripling in the number of solar photovoltaic projects. Unfortunately, their average transaction size is the lowest among all infrastructure sector projects so does not translate to an increase in the total private investment amount.
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.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) presents a significant opportunity for digital transformation in the infrastructure (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry. This sector, traditionally reliant on manual labor, mechanical technology, and traditional business models, has seen limited innovations in productivity compared to many other global industries. However, new digital technologies, particularly InfraTech solutions like drone technology, offer a promising pathway to revolutionize this industry.
