Orientation of infrastructure investments on the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda in Central and Southeast Asia (SIPA)

Over 60 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derive from existing infrastructure systems. What is built in the next years will set GHG trajectories for decades. Against the background of the design of post-COVID recovery plans, there is a unique opportunity to help direct investments towards energy, transport and industry infrastructure projects that not only support economic growth in the short term, but are also consistent with long-term climate goals. To achieve this, the project supports partner countries to prioritise infrastructure projects compatible with long-term low-emission, resilient development pathways. It promotes enabling policy frameworks to scale up investments in low-emission infrastructure. It cooperates with private sector and financial stakeholders to promote Responsible Business Conducts and green, inclusive finance and investment principles and finally fosters capacities, knowledge creation, policy dialogue and peer learning.
