Economic growth, social progress and action against climate change depend in large measure on infrastructure investment, sustainable industrial development and technological progress.
Today, 1 billion people live over two kilometers away from a road that can be used the whole year round, and 4 billion lack access to the Internet, 940 million live without electricity, 663 million lack improved sources of drinking water, etc. This situation requires an investment of 49,1 billion dollars in infrastructure by 2030.
