Join FIDIC for the official launch of its first State of the World Report for 2025, focused on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: ensuring infrastructure in emerging economies is resilient, inclusive, and fit for the future.

Titled Infrastructure Adaptation for Emerging Economies – Scaling Sustainable Solutions, the report offers a clear-eyed view of the infrastructure gaps facing the Global South and proposes actionable pathways to bridge them. It brings together global insights on affordable and scalable technologies, climate adaptation strategies, and investment models that can support sustainable growth in the face of rapid urbanisation, climate risks, and socio-economic transitions.

This live webinar will present the report’s key findings, highlight recommendations for engineers, policymakers, and investors, and open a dynamic panel discussion with global experts. The conversation will explore:

• Innovative and inclusive infrastructure approaches from Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America

• How to build local capacity and strengthen engineering institutions

• Tools to align infrastructure projects with climate goals and unlock resilient finance

• The role of FIDIC and its partners in shaping a more equitable global infrastructure agenda
