Environmental Defense Fund: Financing Sustainable Infrastructure

Posted by Infra on Tuesday, March 6th, 2018

The US faces a $2 trillion infrastructure funding gap through 2025.

A new report from the Environmental Defense Fund and Meister Consulting Group examines innovative financing approaches to sustainable infrastructure. The sustainable infrastructure market is growing across the United States and is increasingly driven by state or local requirements or sustainability goals. Built and managed to meet economic, environmental and social goals, sustainable infrastructure enables government to meet multiple goals by integrating environmental and social co-benefits. The new report introduces an Investment Design Framework featuring four key elements to assist local governments in creating “investment-ready” projects.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.
