A G20 INITIATIVE

A G20 INITIATIVE

October 2019 Newsletter

CEO's Message

The past weeks have seen the world’s response to climate change at the top of the global agenda.

At the recent UN General Assembly, 130 banks agreed on a set of Principles for Responsible Banking that align their business strategies with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

This is an important response and I’m sure it will be discussed at InfraWeek Paris next week where I’m looking forward to speaking on how the SDGs can, and are, driving infrastructure outcomes.


Achieving better infrastructure outcomes was also a priority topic when representatives of G20 governments met in Riyadh recently and began to focus on operationalising the Principles for Quality Infrastructure Investment. The principles were endorsed in Osaka this year and they seek to close the infrastructure gap in a way that emphasises quality throughout project lifecycles.

With momentum building for change, there is opportunity for governments to create conditions that facilitate infrastructure investments that reduce environmental impacts, grow economies in a sustainable way and increase access and inclusion for disadvantaged groups. As a G20 initiative, the GI Hub is working with governments around the world and our multilateral partners to drive better infrastructure outcomes and change the way infrastructure is delivered.
