FOR TOMORROW
Many of us have an in-built desire for a better quality of life. This means accessible physical, digital, commercial, medical, educational and other social infrastructure. AIIB, its members and clients, work together to finance infrastructure development—turning aspirations into reality.
What our clients build and how and where their investments are built will evolve as infrastructure technologies advance and as people, the economy and the world change. The way people live, move and work and the way markets develop will shape the Infrastructure for Tomorrow (i4t).
i4t reflects AIIB's firm commitment to sustainability:
- Environmentally: Addresses ecological impacts like water and air quality, biodiversity, pollution and climate change.
- Financially and economically: Projects with sound return on investment that raise economic growth and increase productivity.
- Socially: Gives inclusive access, particularly to citizens excluded from access to infrastructure services.

The reality is that the infrastructure funding gap exceeds the total financing capacity of governments and multilateral development banks. We must collaborate to pool resources and mobilize private capital to invest as partners or developing Asia risks falling behind.
AIIB is mandated to focus on infrastructure. Operating on the foundations of robust banking principles, high project standards, multilateral governance and backed by a global and diversified shareholder base, we strive for financial and environmental sustainability.
But we strive for more. By 2025, AIIB’s target is for climate finance to represent 50 percent of all financing approvals. On Oct. 26, 2021, we announced that we would align our operations with the goals of the Paris Agreement by July 1, 2023. Our current estimate is that our cumulative climate finance approvals would be USD50 billion by 2030.
Infrastructure for Tomorrow sets a clear mission for AIIB by requiring that all investments across infrastructure and other productive sectors should align and add value through one or more of the following four thematic priorities.
