Green Growth Knowledge Platform

The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is a global community of policy, business, and finance professionals and organisations committed to collaboratively generating, managing, and sharing knowledge on the transition to an inclusive green economy.

Knowledge and Learning

The GGKP's three knowledge platforms - the Green Policy Platform, Green Industry Platform, and Green Finance Platform – offer quick and easy access to the latest research, case studies, guidance, and tools to empower policy makers and advisors, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and banks, insurance, and investment firms to make evidence-based decisions about how to green their operations. Webinars, courses, and academic programmes are also featured on the platforms to facilitate ongoing learning and capacity building for green growth professionals. Users can browse knowledge and learning by 193 countries, 6 regions, and 49 sectors and themes.

The GGKP is committed to sharing knowledge and learning that is relevant for decision-making, evidence-based, reliable, diverse, adaptable, and open.

Engagement

The GGKP facilitates engagement on knowledge and learning through the Green Forum – an online interactive community space for professionals to share and discuss insights in the pursuit of a sustainable economic transition. The Green Forum includes discussions on global topics and the ability for users to create dedicated groups focused on specific themes, initiatives, and projects.

In addition, the GGKP enables its knowledge partners to easily manage and share their knowledge and learning on specific initiatives via customisable +Platforms as well as generates and applies knowledge through its Expert Working Groups.

The GGKP was established in 2012 and is led by a Steering Committee comprised of senior representatives from the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the World Bank. The GGKP draws together more than 75 partner organisations.

The GGKP Secretariat is hosted by GGGI and UN Environment. The Secretariat manages the initiative’s operational activities. The GGKP benefits from strategic funding from Switzerland, Germany, the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) initiative, the Global Environment Facility, the MAVA Foundation, and GGGI as well as programmatic funding from the Netherlands.
