Why It Matters

These indices give asset owners tools to align infrastructure allocations with decarbonisation and resilience goals amid massive private capital needs and evolving regulatory frameworks, helping manage transition and physical climate risks.

Summary

FTSE Russell describes its green infrastructure indices as extensions of its core infrastructure benchmarks that layer climate and sustainability data onto companies exposed to transportation, energy and communications. The firm says recent attacks on regional infrastructure have refocused investors on resilience, decentralisation and reliability, while long-term demand for infrastructure could reach about $100 trillion by 2040. FTSE Russell estimates roughly two‑thirds of future investment will be sustainable, driven by energy transition, digital/AI buildout, climate resilience upgrades and circular-economy solutions. Its product suite includes a TPI Climate Transition index, a more ambitious 50/50 CTB climate transition benchmark, and a Green Revenue Select Infrastructure and Industrials index focused on solution providers.
