INTRODUCTION The Global Green Growth Institute is dedicated to supporting the creation and diffusion of a new model of economic growth, known as “green growth”. The green growth approach integrates economic aims such as poverty reduction, job creation and social development with environmental goals such as sustainability and energy security.
GGGI’s activities centre on three main aims:
* Provide analytical and institutional support to developing countries that wish to develop green growth strategies which are well-aligned with and integrated into other national economic goals;
* Promote the development of a new green growth paradigm by conducting research into various aspects of green growth theory and practice, and;
* Disseminate the results of this research and practical experience to a wide range of audiences and in particular to support the efforts of emerging and developing countries to collectively leapfrog the resource-intensive and environmentally unsustainable model of industrialization and economic development pioneered by advanced economies in an earlier era.
GGGI supports emerging and developing nations in their efforts to create and implement national and provincial green growth strategies. GGGI’s Country Program consists of green growth plan (GGP) analysis and design, domestic capacity building, and public/private partnership to support GGP implementation. In addition, GGGI seeks to stimulate a South-South dynamic of mutual learning and collective refinement of GGP methodology. GGGI facilitates the exchange of knowledge acquired by governments and experts which are developing and implementing such plans, whether developed with GGGI’s assistance or not.
Procurement at GGGI is centralized to Headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, as an office under the Management & Administration Division. The predominant object for procurement is consultancy services to support GGGI projects and programmes in developing countries, but all procurement goes through the Procurement Office.

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an international organization dedicated to green growth. Headquartered in Seoul, it is a new, hybrid international organization – interdisciplinary, multistakeholder and driven by the priorities of emerging and developing economies – established by an initial group of eighteen governments pursuant to a treaty signed at the United Nations Rio+20 Conference in June 2012.
GGGI is dedicated to helping governments and industry pioneer and diffuse a new model of economic growth, green growth, that integrates ambitions for strong economic and environmental performance to achieve poverty reduction, job creation and social inclusion, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation, addressing biodiversity loss and resource security. GGGI’s approach is particularly suited to developing countries as we believe growth is an essential ingredient in economic and human development.
GGGI’s theory of change leads it to focus on three major outcomes: (1) adoption and implementation of rigorous green growth plans based on strong analytics that form the core of national and provincial economic development strategies in emerging and developing economies; (2) research which builds a strong theoretical and empirical basis for green growth, while providing concrete options and guidance for policymakers; and (3) public-private partnerships that enable the scaling of resource-efficient investment, innovation and practice in key industry sectors as well as the engagement of companies in the implementation of national and subnational green growth plans.
