Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
This goal aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.
Investments in infrastructure, innovation, and sustainable industrialization are crucial drivers of economic growth and development. With over half the world population now living in cities, transport, energy, and water infrastructure are increasingly important.
Key aspects and targets of Goal 9 include:
-
Developing quality, reliable, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all.
-
Promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raising industry’s share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and doubling its share in least developed countries.
