How to secure such investments?

We need important investments into sustainable infrastructures (like mobility, alternative energies, alternative urban development, resource protection and management) to assure in 2050 the right infrastructures to support a sustainable society and economy.

But in the past these investments were mainly be done by governments and development

banks.

Today we need to find alternative financing, as the debt situation (which will worsen also due to the need to procure resources) of countries will not allow them to cover all the necessary infrastructure investments to timely implement this massive change.

This implies that we need to create investment vehicles into sustainable infrastructure that offer long-term and fixed income investments to attract institutional investors. This to bring together an increased long-term stability of institutional investors, especially pension funds, and the development of a more sustainable future.
