This webinar will launch the latest FIDIC State of the World report which will explore the evolving financial landscape for sustainable infrastructure, set against a backdrop of shifting global priorities. As the world recalibrates its approach to sustainability, resilience becomes ever more critical and this October, FIDIC will launch its 2025 State of the World report, Financing Sustainable Infrastructure: Navigating the New Terrain of Sustainable Infrastructure Finance, at this must-attend webinar.

Webinar highlights include:

• Financial Mechanisms and Innovations: Dive into green bonds, sustainability-linked loans and climate finance instruments that catalyse sustainable infrastructure projects. Understand how these tools are evolving in the current political climate and their role in driving forward our sustainability agenda.
• Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs): Gain insights into how PPP models are adapting to align private incentives with public sustainability goals. Learn from case studies that demonstrate the impact and success of these partnerships in fostering resilient infrastructure.
• Barriers to financing and innovative solutions: Tackle the perennial challenges of high upfront costs, regulatory complexities, and risk perception. We'll discuss strategic approaches to overcoming these barriers, ensuring investments flow into projects that not only promise returns but also sustainability.
• Emerging trends in sustainable finance: Explore how impact investing, blended finance, and the utilisation of carbon credits are setting the stage for a diversified funding landscape. These trends offer new pathways to support critical infrastructure needs.
• The role of insurance in sustainability: Uncover the pivotal role that insurance plays in de-risking investments, encouraging bolder funding initiatives for infrastructure projects that adhere to sustainability and resilience principles.

This webinar and report will equip policymakers, industry leaders and stakeholders with a robust toolkit of financial strategies and frameworks. These resources are designed to guide decision-making and secure the necessary funding to support infrastructure that withstands today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s uncertainties.
