Abstract

Financing and investing in sustainable infrastructure play a pivotal role in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly considering their multifaceted benefits to the environment, society, and economy. This systematic literature review applies the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology to explore the financing and investment aspects of sustainable infrastructure. With support of a comprehensive collection of 4,308 publications dated from 2009 to 2023, we analyse various types of sustainable infrastructure and their investment and financing strategies by employing bibliometric analysis on 74 most closely related journal articles in a network approach setting. Results show the growing significance of green finance as a central research theme and a prevailing trend within this domain. Drawing upon these findings, we propose a conceptual framework for the integration of green finance into sustainable infrastructure development, offering insights to policy makers and guide future research agendas aimed at advancing green finance in infrastructure sectors.

可持续基础设施的融资和投资：回顾与研究议程

可持续基础设施的融资和投资在实现联合国可持续发展目标方面发挥着关键作用，特别是考虑到其对环境、社会和经济的多方面益处。本系统性文献综述采用系统性综述和元分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）方法，探讨了可持续基础设施的融资和投资问题。在 2009 年至 2023 年期间发表的 4,308 篇论文的全面支持下，我们采用网络方法对 74 篇最密切相关的期刊论文进行文献计量分析，分析了各种类型的可持续基础设施及其投融资策略。结果表明，绿色金融作为该领域的核心研究课题和主流趋势，其重要性与日俱增。根据这些研究结果，我们提出了将绿色金融融入可持续基础设施发展的概念框架，为政策制定者提供见解，并指导未来旨在推进基础设施部门绿色金融的研究议程。
