Switzerland commits to set up an inter-ministerial coordination unit to support participation of Swiss companies in infrastructure projects abroad and promote the use of high sustainability standards. The coordination unit will better connect stakeholders, and, in particular, promote the use of high sustainability standards like the SuRe Standard and the upcoming Sustainable Infrastructure Label from FAST Infra, in the planification, realisation and maintenance of infrastructures.
The commitment falls under focus areas 4, 5, 7 and 8.
It is relevant to SDG 9.
Partners include the Climate Policy Initiative and Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation.
The commitment is part of the Nicosia call 2022.
