Address the challenges of our times with listed infrastructure. For professional investors only. Listed infrastructure is more than just all assets related to provision of essential services that are critical for the functioning of society. Listed infrastructure is also: …central to the solution to many of the world's most important and pressing issues such as climate change and energy security 🌍 …a potential source of inflation protection by way of index-linked revenues and also for growing dividend payouts 📈 …AI that can help infrastructure businesses to reach new levels of efficiency and ultimately enhance long-term growth in the asset class 🧠 Deep dive into the exciting world of infrastructure investments. From sustainable development to resilient solutions, this article uncovers the opportunities that lie ahead: https://lnkd.in/eEmhTVTp For more information do not hesitate to contact Kelly Hebert, CFA, Stacey Notteboom, CFA, Loïc Pouget , Daan Steenbeke and Jesper Vanden Bossche. #MarketingCommunication

Despite challenging global economic and market conditions, there are compelling opportunities within global listed infrastructure, according to Shane Hurst. He explores how the trends of decarbonization, reshoring and 5G evolution are impacting the space, and how the nature of listed infrastructure can offer some insulation against high inflation. https://s.frk.com/48GFXy8

Creating a decarbonization strategy for commercial buildings can feel overwhelming; there are many important considerations in developing a cost-effective plan.  Using a recent case study, this session will help you navigate trends and technologies for decarbonization by highlighting important implementation strategies, and current and upcoming utility incentives and rate programs.

Governments are exploring ways to cut costs and enhance the efficiency of their existing properties. The UK government, dealing with a particularly old building stock, has recently announced a £530 million investment to install low-carbon heating and energy-saving measures across schools, hospitals, and other public buildings. This funding will be used to implement technologies such as heat pumps, solar panels, insulation, and low-energy lighting. Driven largely by the energy crisis and dependence on imported energy, this long-term investment aims to reduce public sector energy costs and overall carbon emissions. It is projected to save £650 million annually through 2037. Since 2020, over 1,000 projects have been selected for upgrades through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. This investment is expected to benefit the UK's environmental and infrastructure services consulting firms. With several of these companies coming to market in the next year or two, new owners will likely seek further government incentives and commitments to sustain growth. #EnergyConsumption #LowEnergyBuildings

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions of infrastructure is the new normal. And if Australia gets this right, we can achieve our emission reduction ambitions, save money and grow jobs. To learn more, join us on Wednesday 13 March at 10.00am for a webinar where we discuss the findings and recommendations of Infrastructure Victoria's latest research, Opportunities to Reduce the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Infrastructure -https://lnkd.in/gqqRfKxw The webinar will discuss these new opportunities to ensure assessment and procurement processes can support better use of existing infrastructure and prioritise low carbon design solutions and materials.

#netzero delivery milestones of UK #planning nationally important #infrastucture into ⚡ #energy, 🚄 #transport, 💧 #water, 💩 #sewage will be critical to establish how projects are coming forwards, to obtaining planning permissions and the timescales of these onto site. Not forgetting to mention how important this is for National Energy Security for self reliance for production of our own homegrown electricity at a macro level. Therefore the new National Infrastructure Planning Portal will be vital to meeting our targets swiftly on key #development sites to ensure boosting #renwableenergy, #lowcarbon transport projects as well as minimization of water usage and effective use of sewage treatment works.

Our 2024/25 Business Plan has been published reflecting the many different activities our 15 workstreams will be undertaking, working towards improving outcomes for people and places across the whole of Scotland. It continues to support the three priorities of Scottish Government’s Infrastructure Investment Plan of enabling the transition to net zero emissions, driving inclusive economic growth and building sustainable and resilient places. We highlight big themes for public sector infrastructure investment in which our teams will be engaged: ▪️ Delivering more affordable housing ▪️ Transitioning the public estate to net zero emissions ▪️ Enabling the transformation of public service delivery. Our focus remains on attracting private sector investment into digital infrastructure and supporting the energy transition, as well as assessing financial models to deliver heat networks and attracting further investment into electric vehicle charging infrastructure along with a new workstream dedicated to infrastructure for the hydrogen economy. We see new opportunities across the construction sector where increased digitalisation, modern methods of construction and the retrofitting of existing buildings will be vital in supporting the energy transition and Scotland's net zero requirements. For the year ahead, we are again looking forward to building on the deep and meaningful relationships we have developed with our partners to bring about improved outcomes, helping us towards our vision of world-class infrastructure for the people of Scotland. https://lnkd.in/emF6mbsP #infrastructure #construction #hydrogen #future #economy
