The Global Green Growth Institute

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based intergovernmental organization launched in 2012 at the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development with the mandate to accelerate the global transition to green growth – an environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive model of growth. It delivers programs for over 40- member and partner countries across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America,

the Middle East, and the Pacific region, through technical support, capacity building, policy planning & implementation, and by helping to build a pipeline of bankable green investment projects.

GGGI was established to support developing country governments’ transition to a model of green growth that promotes economic growth to meet development aspirations while solving the climate crisis and protecting natural capital, with a strong focus on nature- based solutions and reducing social inequities. The organization’s vision is a low-carbon, resilient world of strong, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Currently, 411 employees work at GGGI, with 47 staff based in the headquarter and 364 with countries teams. In 2021, GGGI supported its members to mobilize over USD 5 billion in green and climate finance, contributing to climate mitigation and adaptation and creating green jobs and inclusive economies.

GGGI works in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam to design and deliver programs and services that demonstrate new and sustainable pathways to pro-poor economic growth. Projects in implementation include Viet Nam Green Bond Readiness Program, BioCNG Programme, Green Hydrogen, Solar Irrigation, Collaborative R&DB Programme for Promoting the Innovation of Climate Technopreneurship, and ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation. In the area of waste management, GGGI provides in- country waste solutions to national and local governments with other development partners. Interventions include Cambodia’s waste management, sanitation, and WTE projects; Lao PDR’s wastewater and solid waste capacity building projects; and Thailand’s e-waste and sustainable economic zones projects.
