Our Vision
A resilient world of strong, inclusive and sustainable
growth.
Our Objective
GGGI Member countries move towards a model of
green growth. While this will be differentiated for
countries, at its core will be strategies that
simultaneously achieve poverty reduction, social
inclusion, environmental sustainability and resource
security.
We aim to do this through realization of three strategic
outcomes over the next six years:
1. Strengthened national green growth planning, financing and
institutional frameworks.
2. Increased green investment flows.
3. Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing and learning
between countries on green growth.

Public Transportation, General EE Measures, T&D Loss Reduction and Wind sectors
are to be taken by GoK on a priority basis
Solar and Electric Vehicles have a great potential to become Thrust areas
