The birth of global public investment

This report presents global public investment (GPI) as a new paradigm for international public finance – one that reimagines how the world invests in shared progress. Rooted in the principles of collective responsibility and inclusive governance, GPI offers a future-oriented approach to funding global public goods and sustainable development. The report articulates the context in which we find ourselves, explains the conceptual foundations and practical implications of a GPI approach, and outlines a phased strategy for its advancement. This involves shifting global narratives towards mutual interest and seizing strategic opportunities to embed the values of mutuality into the architecture of international cooperation.
