This paper discusses the inclusion of climate-related considerations in infrastructure planning and projects, and how investment in infrastructure can be scaled up to close the funding gap.
Beyond the Gap: How Countries Can Afford the Infrastructure They Need while Protecting the Planet aims to shift the debate regarding investment needs away from a simple focus on spending more and toward a focus on spending better on the right objectives, using relevant metrics.

This report focuses on the challenges and opportunities faced by developing countries that are related to the Paris Agreement. It reviews the experience of the Global Green Growth Institute's (GGGI's) member countries in the development of national green growth plans, NDC action plans and roadmaps, and the low-emission development strategy for a small island developing nation. It then evaluates experience related to the implementation and financing of such green growth plans in a number of high-priority areas, including the renewable energy transition, electrification of transportation, green buildings and infrastructure, and green employment.
