Abstract:
This research concerns the delivery of sustainable building projects. These projects are defined as those which either attempt to achieve green ratings or are claimed to address certain sustainability issues. A key focus is to examine how the client's vision for sustainability is achieved or compromised by the practicality of construction. Two sustainability rating systems, the Australian Green Star and the Living Building Challenge from the U.S. are discussed. This research examines two projects; one university multipurpose building (SMART Infrastructure Facility); and an advanced research fa

The transition towards sustainable cities cannot be solved by individual stakeholders and organisations acting alone. Better governance for tackling such complex problems, including policy change and innovation adoption, will require purposeful collaboration.

Abstract:
AbstractComplexity and data quality of a project are strongly linked together. The higher the need for better data quality is, the more complex projects become. In digitization, various complexity factors have an impact on the quality, such as the object properties or environmental factors. However, it also largely depends on the employed technology. Digitization instruments are designed for specific purposes and applications and have defined specifications and limitations. Some devices perform better with one material or another, and can capture invisible detail or geometry at large distance.

Abstract. Construction projects present unique challenges compared to other project types, given their inherent risks, lengthy timelines, substantial budgets, and significant social, environmental, and safety implications. Despite these complexities, the ultimate deliverables may not always meet the expectations of end users or owners. This project aims to address this issue by initially developing key performance indicators (KPIs) and subsequently creating a project performance card (PPC) tailored specifically for construction projects. Eight indicators have been identified to assess the perf

Abstract:
Infrastructure is one of the vital technical elements of our modern lives, with its wide scope of broad environmental, social and political impacts. Nevertheless, infrastructure projects are often prone to underachievement in budget, time, quality or goals. In order to find out the state of infrastructure project management in Croatia, as well as neighboring countries, the authors conducted research with the aim of detecting the most critical areas of infrastructure project management in the context of challenge and opportunity identification and connection.

Abstract:
This brief highlights the potential for developing sustainable bond markets in the ASEAN+3 region and suggests ways forward. It notes that renewable energy and energy efficiency are seen as promising sectors for the development of green bonds. It suggests how policymakers and development partners can help expand the issuer base and increase local demand for sustainable bonds, increase project bankability, and create an enabling ecosystem.

Abstract:
In the course of the transition from carbon extensive power generation to low carbon technologies, the electricity grid will face technical as well as non-technical challenges. Transmission systems are required to tackle the change from highly flexible, centralized generation technologies to fluctuating, unpredictable and decentralized power generation. The grid often needs to be extended to ensure security of supply. While the benefits of the projects affect the whole system, their social costs are local. This mismatch of costs and benefits is a source of conflict and requires new approaches

Abstract:
The Nordic countries are considered to be global front-runners in creating sustainable societies. Although we get a lot of things right, big tasks lie ahead if we are to reach our vision to be the most integrated and sustainable region in the world by 2030. The Sustainable Living programme, running from 2021 through 2024, is a response to this challenge and a call to action. It has explored what a sustainable Nordic lifestyle entails and formulated concrete guidelines and tools for policy and business development. It has demonstrated public impact through the spread of information and inspirat

Abstract:
Climate change, rapid urbanization and other grand challenges increasingly force cities to rethink their urban (water) infrastructure. In particular, decentralized urban water management solutions, which can recover valuable resources close to the source are increasingly applied to remediate water scarcity, sanitation or environmental pollution challenges. Yet, although interesting demonstration projects with decentralized solutions (from here on labeled ‘decentralized UWM solutions’) are underway in several world regions, actors developing and implementing this transformative innovation are n

Abstract:
Mekelle, the capital of the Tigray region in Ethiopia, is plagued by water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) challenges. Rapid population growth, unplanned urbanisation, limitations in WASH services, climate change, and the impacts of war and conflicts are affecting the sanitation conditions of the city. To understand the status of sanitation and waste management, and identify options for sustainable waste management, multidisciplinary research was carried out through the Towards Brown Gold project. The study involved empirical research and stakeholder engagement. This Policy Briefing outlines wa

Abstract:
This paper aims to examine Sri Lanka's environmental licensing system and assess its adequacy for the successful development of offshore wind projects. Sri Lanka has been recognized as an ideal location for offshore renewable energy projects, particularly offshore wind, due to its geographic characteristics as an island with consistent 24-hour wind conditions. This article explores the factors contributing to Sri Lanka's suitability for offshore wind energy and evaluates the current environmental licensing procedures in place. Additionally, it draws on past experiences where inadequate environ

Abstract:
This paper presents a new public policy instrument, national infrastructure platforms (NIPs), to promote investment in sustainable infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean. The region has important infrastructure deficits that limit its ability to meet challenges of economic growth, climate change, and social inclusion and equality. NIPs will allow countries to maximize the use of public, multilateral, and concessional financing resources to promote socioeconomic development. Specifically, since the infrastructure challenges of the region will not be met with public funding, NIPs will

Abstract:
The IDB's support for Urban Transportation projects in Latin America has grown rapidly in recent years, with annual lending volume for the urban transport sector growing by 36% from 2005 to 2012, comprising more than 20 percent of the transport sector lending portfolio by 2012. This support is likely to continue growing in the next decade due to several institutional commitments, programs, and strategies, including the GCI-9 Agreement, the Sustainable Transport Action Plan (REST-AP), the Sustainable Cities Program, and the Rio+20 Commitments. The objective of these comparative case studies is

Abstract:
Over the past two decades, the Inter-American Development Bank (hereafter "the Bank") has gained considerable experience with regard to the promotion of sustainable tourism activities in Brazil. These include ecotourism in the Amazon region, but particularly in the less developed Northeast. This has entailed a valuable learning process with respect to the environmental impacts and management challenges associated with tourism development and investments to support it, leading to a significant evolution in the Bank's approach over time. As a result, much of what the Bank is currently doing in c
