Infrastructure undergirds commercial life, provides vital social services, and sup

4、ports human interaction around the world and across the street. Increasingly, however, decision-makers and experts are looking to infrastructure to move from supporting the world, to shaping the world. Leaders in the public and private sector are becoming ever more aware of the importance of buildin

5、g a more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable world. But this world cannot be built without the corresponding sustainable infrastructure. With this in mind, the World Economic Forums Global Future Council on Infrastructure met in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in November 2019 to und

6、erstand how they could do their part to encourage the development of a widely accepted sustainable infrastructure asset class to draw more private capital into sustainable infrastructure investment. The Council, leveraging the diverse experience of its members, decided the best way to achieve this w

7、ould be to construct an overall vision of what sustainable infrastructure was, and then explore frameworks and case examples that can help bring this vision into reality. Out of this came the Councils Six Qualities of Sustainable Infrastructure (GFC-6) presented in this document. Through rigorous re

8、search and exploration, the Council created the GFC-6 to take into account multiple aspects of sustainability, including economic, social, environmental and technological components. This paper also contains suggestions and an example of tools that can be used to operationalize the GFC-6. The Counci

9、l is supportive of the creation and application of any framework, model or tool that supports the incorporation of the GFC-6 and will produce a series of articles for the World Economic Forums Agenda blog platform that highlights different strategies, frameworks and case examples that show how the G

10、FC-6 can be achieved and why it is important to achieve them. Without proper support, sustainable infrastructure risks becoming a niche issue. A nice to have, rather than the global imperative it truly is. By laying out clear and achievable qualities, and providing strategies and examples to amplify

11、 their adoption, the Global Future Council on Infrastructure hopes to do its part to encourage the development of infrastructure projects and systems that can help create the more inclusively and sustainably prosperous future the world deserves. 4 Among the research found, two key sources were ident

12、ified. First, the latest version of the United Nations Guiding Principles on People- First Public-Private Partnerships in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UN people-first model”).1 The UN people- first model lists desired outcomes and guiding principles for public-privat

13、e partnerships in general, but can also be applied to infrastructure projects. Second, the Inter-American Development Banks Framework to Guide Sustainability Across the Project Cycle (“IDB Sustainability Framework”).2 The IDB Sustainability Framework is intended to support planning, designing, and f

14、inancing of infrastructure that is economically, financially, socially, environmentally and institutionally sustainable. Following the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils in Dubai, and through several follow-up calls, the Global Future Council on Infrastructure coalesced around a goal

15、for its 2019-2020 term: to find a way to encourage greater private capital flows into sustainable infrastructure projects and systems. The demand from institutional investors for infrastructure assets, as well as investments that further global sustainability goals, is large and growing. The Council

16、 surmised that increasing flows of capital into sustainable infrastructure by supporting the creation of a sustainable infrastructure asset class would be an effective avenue for achieving both of these goals. To do this, the Council set out to define a vision for what sustainable infrastructure is.

17、 To devise a vision for what sustainable infrastructure is, the Council consulted prior research and existing standards from other organizations. Existing frameworks and research were surveyed to understand the state of the conversation around sustainable infrastructure, and areas where more attenti

18、on was needed. This exercise found scope for a sustainable infrastructure vision that encouraged long-term lifecycle viability.
