#19 PIDG Sustainability and Impact Report
As the climate crisis continues to accelerate, sustainable development and poverty reduction hinge on our ability to adapt to the changing climate, protect and restore the natural environment, and rapidly reduce global emissions. At PIDG, we’ve made it our mission to address these challenges head-on while ensuring our infrastructure projects meet the needs of those who depend on them most.
In this episode, host Marcel Klebba highlights the key takeaways from our very first Sustainability and Impact report, how our work aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and what our new 2030 strategy means for the future of infrastructure development. We also delve into standout projects from the past year, including efforts to improve water services in Vietnam and enhance connectivity in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Our guests are:
Marco Serena, Chief Sustainable Impact Officer
Cheryl Ng, Biodiversity & Nature Manager
Stuart Cannon, Climate Change Group Manager
