• Global Infrastructure Index 2023 survey of 31 countries (May-June 2023) found that overall satisfaction with infrastructure is higher than dissatisfaction, but a third of respondents are unsure. Satisfaction varies widely by country (e.g., 43% in Japan vs. 17% in Peru) and by infrastructure sector (e.g., airports at 68% to flood defenses at 30%).

• Opinions indicate that most agree infrastructure spending isn't quick enough, especially where satisfaction is low. A majority believe infrastructure can boost the economy and combat climate change, though environmental priorities remain strong, with signs of shifting towards economic considerations in some regions.

• Investment priorities include renewable energy, water supply, and transportation, with variations across countries. A minority support increased spending, but more people are comfortable with this idea than before the pandemic.

• Long-term trends show satisfaction dipped in 2018, improved during the pandemic, and partially recovered, though not uniformly across all nations like the UK and US. Methodology involved online surveys with a sample of 22,816 adults, using weighting for demographic balance.

• Key variations include higher satisfaction in APAC compared to other regions, declining importance for flood defenses and EV charging (in some cases) since 2021, and stronger local community engagement support despite skepticism on infrastructure adaptation for future climate changes.

Integrating environmental and economic factors reinforces that the public prioritizes environmental impacts over short-term economic gains, but this gap is narrowing.
