The latest Global Infrastructure Index from Ipsos UK finds Britons less satisfied with infrastructure than the global average across 31 countries but equally positive as others about most infrastructure sectors. The survey - carried out in 31 countries by Ipsos in collaboration with the Global Infrastructure Investor Association (GIIA)- is the seventh of its kind, and the first since 2021. Key findings: 💡 73% of Britons agree that investing in infrastructure will create new jobs and boost the economy - higher than the global average of 69%. 💡 64% think infrastructure can make an important contribution to combating climate change - higher than the global average of 59%. 💡 68% think the country is not doing enough to meet its infrastructure needs (higher than the global average of 57%), up from 64% in 2021. 💡 Britons are less resistant than citizens in other countries to increasing spending on infrastructure even if this means higher taxes or more government borrowing 💡 70% of Britons don’t think infrastructure in their country has been adapted enough to cope with future changes in the climate - higher than the global average of 61%. 💡 67% of Britons think infrastructure isn’t being built quickly enough - higher than the global average of 60%. 💡 However, they don’t want to compromise local engagement; 63% agree that local communities’ views on plans for infrastructure should be heard properly even if it means delays - similar to the global average of 65%. #Infrastructure #MarketResearch #Transport #EV #Energy #ClimateChange

It's often said that change is the only constant in life and our recently published Five Year Review paints a picture of the changing infrastructure landscape we and our partners have navigated these past five years since we published our current Corporate Plan - https://lnkd.in/ehJDs-Cc As we begin to consult on our new 2025/2030 Corporate Plan, we've published this Five Year Review to illustrate some of the milestones and achievements delivered with our many partners, as well as some new areas where our infrastructure expertise has been valued, and which will inform our future development. Adapting quickly to the ever-changing infrastructure landscape will remain central to our ability to improve outcomes from Scotland’s infrastructure. We hope you will see examples of that in the Review, and help us plan for the next steps through our survey - https://lnkd.in/eMS3yNPi
