Infrastructure Spotlight

Island communities face a constantly evolving array of infrastructure challenges, including climate change and resilience, energy security and transition, connectivity, food security and affordable housing. These challenges require island governments to reimagine their traditional approaches to public infrastructure, as the world around us changes at an unprecedented speed. Creating resilient and sustainable infrastructure ecosystems is essential for islands’ survival and growth, and public infrastructure plays a crucial role in meeting these challenges.

Empowering societies to flourish in an equitable and sustainable manner, by minimizing vulnerabilities and fostering economic growth, is the foundation for meaningful and resolute change. Jurisdictions that redefine the way we live and work, forge a path towards creating a better reality for their people.

With extensive experience working alongside numerous island jurisdictions, KPMG recognizes the valuable lessons that can be shared across these communities. This article offers a comprehensive directory of public infrastructure landscapes in our jurisdictions, with the objective of showcasing the diverse approaches employed by governments across our islands to address common challenges. We believe that scalability and sustainability can be achieved through strategic planning, funding, development and operation of infrastructure programs and we look forward to continuing to work with our public and private sector clients towards this common goal.
