About

The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is a global network of experts and organizations dedicated to providing the policy, business and finance communities with knowledge, guidance, data and tools to transition to an inclusive green economy.
The GGKP’s three knowledge platforms – Green Policy Platform, Green Industry Platform and Green Finance Platform – offer direct access to the latest research, learning opportunities and thought leadership to empower government decision makers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and financial institutions to make evidence-based decisions about how to green their operations.
A leading engine for inter-institutional collaboration, the GGKP establishes and facilitates expert groups to assess the state of knowledge on specific green economy themes, identify gaps and catalyse coordinated responses.

Governance

The GGKP was founded in 2012 by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Bank. In 2018, the GGKP welcomed the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in joining the four founding organizations of the GGKP Steering Committee – the partnership’s governing and decision-making body.

Operations are carried out by the GGKP Secretariat, jointly hosted by GGGI in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and UNEP in Geneva, Switzerland. Both organizations provide dedicated personnel to support the initiative. Each of the partnership’s founding organizations provide in-kind support through the designation of a GGKP coordinator, charged with supporting the implementation of GGKP activities. Coordinators ensure close and constant communication between the GGKP Secretariat and its founding organizations.
