SOBRE ESTE CURSO

What impact can infrastructure have on society and the environment? A holistic approach to sustainability is crucial when thinking about infrastructure if we are to advance sustainable and inclusive social and economic development, as set out in the IDB Group’s institutional strategy.

This approach is key to minimizing negative environmental and climate impacts, reducing social inequality, and boosting productivity, all of which are key to a full recovery from the COVID 19 pandemic.

For these reasons, sustainable infrastructure is recognized as a foundation for meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the goals of the Paris Agreement aimed at warding off the impacts of climate change.

In this MOOC you will learn how the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) defines sustainable infrastructure and what its benefits are. You will identify how to include sustainability throughout the cycle of a project so that efforts are aligned with global and national priorities in terms of social, environmental, economic, and institutional sustainability. In addition, you will become familiar with some practical examples and learn about the universe of climate funds that allow scaling up sustainable infrastructure financing.
