INTRODUCTION TO GGGI

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.

Based in Seoul, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote green growth targeting key aspects of economic performance such as poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries by building capacity and fostering green growth policies. GGGI partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government agencies, and the private sector to help strengthen economies that support sustainable use of natural resources, less carbon-intensive, and more resilient growth considering climate change.

GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in various countries. These in-country programs, together with global products and services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to national development priorities. The organization also focuses on knowledge development and management activities which build a strong theoretical and empirical basis for green growth, while providing concrete options and guidance for policymakers; as well as building the conditions for public and private green infrastructure investments.

GGGI is implementing a multi-year GCF Readiness–funded technical assistance program to support the Government of the Dominican Republic in mobilizing national and international climate finance and private investment for NDC implementation, aligned with the National Climate Finance Strategy and the Country Platform.
