219 rooftops are major components Relatively small investments are made in water irrigation systems and transport, thereby degrading food and water security as a whole In terms of economic outcomes, despite significantly higher investment (34%) in infrastructure, the total GDP in SC2 is, however, only marginally higher (2%) than SC1 BAU In the SC3 Food Scenario, infrastructure investment is moderately increased, on average, annually to USD billion during the next 16 years, reaching USD 29.9 billion in 2030 It is a decrease of USD 1.3 billion and USD 16.1 billion compared with SC1 and SC2, respectively during the period 2014–2030 The major reason for this is the change in infrastructure investment in SC3 due to its food-oriented policy Therefore, the major additional investment is allocated to new water irrigation technology at USD 1.4 billion per year (over 4.6%), equivalent to USD 20 million and USD 230 million more than in SC1 and SC2, respectively Investment in energy still dominates, similar to SC1 and SC2, accounting for 88.7% of the total infrastructure budget, despite a marginal reduction compared with SC1 and SC2 At the same time, the share of investment in the transport system is 3.3%, reaching USD billion in 2030 Figure 6-37: Share of Investment in Infrastructure, various Scenarios (%) Source: Estimates based on modelling developed in this research In the SC4 Water scenario, the infrastructure investment is likely to increase on average annually by USD 1.34 billion during the period 2014–2030, reaching USD 35.2 billion in 2030 This is equivalent to USD billion and USD 5.3 billion more than in SC1 and SC3, respectively, and USD 11.4 billion less than in SC2 In this water-centric scenario,
