Leveraging PPPs to tackle climate change – A new resource

According to the World Bank’s Private Participation in Infrastructure – Investment in Low-Carbon Infrastructure report, approximately 70 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions emanate from infrastructure construction and operations.
