How are private investors financing infrastructure — especially certain institutional investors, such as pension and insurance funds, which hold over $100 trillion? And can these investors can help achieve public goods, such as low or no carbon economies? An introduction to understanding global infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure financing levels could double by the year 2030.

Who are these institutional investors, and how can governments and civil society ensure that these investors work towards a sustainable future?
This video provides a lively introduction to the questions of how private investors (especially certain institutional investors, such as pension and insurance funds, which hold over $100 trillion) are financing infrastructure and whether they can help achieve public goods, such as low or no carbon economies.
