The Push for Sustainable Infrastructure
Portfolio Manager Nick Langley discusses how global infrastructure will play a key role in the world meeting ambitious net-zero carbon emissions targets. He highlights how, given the high levels of government spending underway to cope with the pandemic, economies around the world will rely on the private sector to fund many emission-lowering initiatives, both for regulated infrastructure such as utilities and for user-pays assets such as rail and airports.
