The Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) is a global network of international organizations and experts that identifies and addresses major knowledge gaps in green growth theory and practice. The GGKP was established in January 2012 as a joint initiative by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Bank..[1].

The GGKP is a partnership-based initiative that employs a collaborative approach to green growth knowledge generation, management, and sharing[2]. The GGKP partnership draws together over 60 partners ranging from international and nongovernmental organizations to academic institutions and think tanks, and reflects the world’s largest global community of organisations and experts dedicated to a sustainable economic transformation[3].

History[edit]

The GGKP was formally launched in January 2012 through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Global Green Growth Institute, UNEP, OECD, and the World Bank[4]

The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) called for the development of platforms to coordinate and provide information on green economy knowledge and tools in 2012.[5]. The GGKP Project Document was signed in November 2013 under the management of UN Environment Division. In January 2014, GGKP office was officially inaugurated in Geneva and the website officially launched. The GGKP has since expanded to a global partnership of over 60 international organisations, research institutes, financial institutions, think tanks, and non-governmental organisations[3]

Governance[edit]

GGKP’s governance structure consists of the Steering Committee, Advisory Committee, and Secretariat[6].

Steering Committee[edit]

The GGKP’s four founding organizations, GGGI, OECD, the UN Environment, and the World Bank, together formed the GGKP Steering Committee, as the principle governing and decision-making body[7].

Advisory Committee[edit]

The Advisory Committee is made up of representatives from academic, practitioner, policymaking, and donor communities, and offers strategic advice and guidance on GGKP research programs[5].

Secretariat[edit]

The GGKP Management Team is a joint UN Environment and GGGI setup in charge of coordination, knowledge management, communications and outreach, budget and operations management. The Secretariat is based in Geneva, Switzerland[8]
