Charting new approaches to capital project delivery

In the February edition of Voices on Infrastructure, available as a free download, we explore what it will take to successfully scale up the delivery of capital projects to meet net-zero targets. The global project delivery system has a critical role to play in limiting global warming to 1.5°C, yet significant challenges remain for asset owners, investors, and contractors alike. Explore the articles and interviews in this issue for diverse perspectives on improving project delivery, collaborating to transform capital projects, using sustainability benchmarks, upgrading the electric grid, and the role of investors in delivering sustainable infrastructure. From COP26, we also have the key takeaways from a roundtable discussion on helping the cement and construction industry achieve net zero.

Changing project delivery to meet net-zero targets

As construction increasingly adopts climate targets, owners and contractors can help change how projects are delivered. Doing so will likely require expert analytical and technical skills.
