The forthcoming infrastructure is climate-friendly.

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing our globe today. As the world grapples with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy, the role of infrastructure cannot be overstated. Infrastructure, including transportation, energy, and urban development, is critical in shaping the climate future. The forthcoming infrastructure, driven by the urgent need to address climate change, is being designed and built with a focus on sustainability, resilience, and environmental stewardship.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), approximately 75% of the greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the Earth's atmosphere and harming the environment result from human activity, including burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. Infrastructure plays a crucial part in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move towards a low-carbon economy. Infrastructure, which includes energy, urban growth, and transportation, is crucial in determining our country's climate in the future. The upcoming infrastructure is being planned and constructed with an emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and environmental stewardship, as supported by data and scientific evidence, motivated by the urgent need to combat climate change.

The International Energy Agency transportation significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 24% of energy-related CO2 emissions. However, a trend towards...
