Infrastructure and sustainable development
Infrastructure is the cornerstone of the economic and social activities of all communities and is essential for growth.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 give an important role to infrastructure in the 2030 Agenda, recognizing the added value generated by the sector in terms of widening access to basic services, protection from extreme weather events, and stimulating economic growth and innovation.
