Membership and Partners

Effective long-term partnerships underpin GGGI’s efforts to accelerate the transition to a model of green growth nationally, regionally, and globally.

The transformation of countries‘ economies into a green growth model at national and subnational levels requires partnerships with institutions that share the same vision of a sustainable and inclusive green growth model. GGGI partners with governments, civil society, and the private sector to develop innovative green growth development solutions, project financing and investment, and sharing of knowledge and country lessons. These partnerships create synergies and complementarity to advance the green growth agenda at regional and global stages; build consistency in advocacy to policymakers, financiers, and other stakeholders; and demonstrate efficiency in the use of resources to support countries and initiatives at national and subnational levels.
