Action tracks
The International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure is committed to driving practical sustainable infrastructure solutions to combat the effects of climate change around the globe. Each of the four initial action tracks is led by an executive-level industry expert.
Through regular leadership summits and action track meetings, leaders from across the infrastructure stakeholder spectrum that make up the ICSI membership will refine their individual commitments and together develop collective commitments in the form of viable and concrete action scopes and execution timelines to advance our shared vision of sustainable and resilient infrastructure. By thinking globally while acting locally, the coalition will foster local action to address climate change and infrastructure sustainability/resilience issues worldwide.
We are developing inclusive networks of individuals and organizations committed to enacting the change we envision. This will depend on engagement and support from every sector of our economy as we seek to reimagine a more sustainable world.
