Today marks the kickoff of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) Annual Conference on Sustainable Infrastructure, hosted by the World Bank in Washington, DC. The two-day conference brings together leading researchers in the field, both from the academic world and policy-oriented backgrounds, to take stock of recent advances and challenges around the infrastructure agenda. In 18 plenary and parallel sessions, over 80 speakers will explore some of the most critical questions on how to design, promote and implement sustainable infrastructure. Sessions will cover issues related to water, energy, transport, finance, regulation, disaster risk management, nature-based solutions, mitigation, adaptation, and more. This special edition GGKP Knowledge Update shares research highlights from the conference through a series of insights blogs and Q&As with experts.
