Climate change is creating a new reality for institutions, affecting infrastructure, public finance, urban planning, water systems, energy, and economic development. Strong institutions can help societies anticipate climate risks, protect investments, and integrate resilience into long-term national planning.

Strong institutions are the foundation of successful infrastructure. By providing strategic planning, transparent governance, effective regulation, and long-term oversight, institutions enable countries to build transportation networks, energy systems, digital infrastructure, and public services that drive sustainable economic growth and improve quality of life.
