Sustainable Infrastructure
An estimated $90 trillion in global infrastructure invest-

TRC joins the Sustainable
Infrastructure Advisory
Board
TRC joins the Sustainable Infrastructure Advisory
Board (SIAB), through the Zofnass Program at

ideas - is also advancing, as pre-commercial and proven
technologies are scaled to decarbonize the power, trans-
port, industry and buildings sectors.
Investment strategies in response to severe weath-
er events, the threat of rising sea levels, and ongoing
drought conditions, are driving sustainable infrastruc-
ture design, asset hardening, contingency planning and
emergency response. Safeguarding business continu-
ity, increasing a city’s resistance to vulnerabilities, or
responding to restore critical infrastructure in a timely
manner are all areas where TRC excels.
