INTRODUCTION
The
Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a new international
organization committed to strong, inclusive green growth. We assist
developing and emerging countries with integrating their ambitions for
strong economic performance and environmental sustainability with the
goal of bringing about poverty reduction, job creation, social
inclusion, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Headquartered
in Seoul, GGGI was established by treaty in June 2012 at the United
Nations Rio+20 Conference by an initial group of eighteen nations who
share the organization's vision. To date, there are a total of 24 Member
Countries who have joined the organization.
GGGI has a
diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world.
These in-country programs, together with global products and services,
focus on delivering bankable projects and programs that are aligned to
countries' 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 supporting the Government of Indonesia in three focal areas: energy,
infrastructure projects within special economic zones, and forest and
land-based mitigation projects. The Program, known as the 'GoI-GGGI
Green Growth Program,' aims to demonstrate that green investments is
possible and can become the norm both for investors and for planners,
ultimately improving the quality of growth and development. To ensure
sustainability of the Program, knowledge development and management is a
