Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Investments in infrastructure –
transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology –
are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in
many countries. It has long been recognized that growth in productivity and
incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes require investment
in infrastructure.
Inclusive and sustainable industrial
development is the primary source of income generation, allows for rapid and
sustained increases in living standards for all people, and provides the
technological solutions to environmentally sound industrialization.
Technological progress is the foundation
of efforts to achieve environmental objectives, such as increased resource and
energy-efficiency. Without technology and innovation, industrialization will
not happen, and without industrialization, development will not happen.
