ISCA: Enabling sustainability through infrastructure


The need for a global infrastructure sustainability rating scheme

Over the period leading to 2032, the world


will require about $90 trillion in new
infrastructure – most of it in developing and
middle-income countries.

Provides the nexus between ‘infrastructure sustainability and ‘sustainable


infrastructure’ and can be utilised by sovereigns, donors, multi-laterals, institutional
investors, funding agencies and project delivery partners to measure, and achieve, long
term improved asset performance across the quadruple bottom line
