Introduction: The Global Green Growth Institute was founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as “green growth”, which targets key aspects of economic performance such as poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. GGGI envisions a resilient world achieved through strong, inclusive and sustainable green growth, and is dedicated to supporting the transition of GGGI Member countries towards a green growth model. In pursuit of these goals, GGGI works with developing and emerging countries to design and deliver programs and services that demonstrate new pathways to pro-poor economic growth. Headquartered in Seoul, Republic of Korea, GGGI also has representation in a number of partner countries. GGGI supports stakeholders through two complementary and integrated work streams – Green Growth Planning & Implementation and Knowledge Solutions – that deliver comprehensive products and services designed to assist in developing, financing and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans. GGGI’s interventions emphasize change in four priority areas considered to be essential to transforming countries’ economies including energy, water, land-use and green cities. Project BackgroundGGGI currently has two tools to assess a country’s performance regarding green growth, the Green Growth Index and the Green Growth Potential Assessment. Firstly, the Green Growth Index is a tool GGGI is currently developing to measure and compare countries’ performance on green growth. The tool consists of three components: (1) a composite index, to measure countries’ green growth performance; (2) a simulation tool, to show how policy changes can impact performance; and (3) an evidence library, to provide an underlying evidence basis for the indicators and methodology used in the tool. GGGI developed a pilot version of the tool in 2017, and held a “soft launch” at Global Green Growth Week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in October. Over the coming months, GGGI plans to further develop the tool by strengthening the underlying methodology, broadening its country coverage, and increasing the quantity and quality of data used in the tool. The results of the revised index will feed into the development of a major report which will be released in late 2018. Secondly, GGGI developed the Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA) in 2016 as a methodology to systematically assess countries to identify challenges and opportunities for green growth. These assessments consist of a combination of data analysis and stakeholder consultation in order to identify and prioritize a country’s opportunities for green growth. The GGPA process consists of the following three stages: (1) preliminary assessment based on data analysis; (2) validation of the preliminary assessment and consultation with stakeholders; and (3) sector analysis and the development of recommendations. This design aims to ensure that the assessment process is systematic, objective, and participatory. In the past two years, six such assessments have been conducted in different countries worldwide. Based on the experiences made and the lessons learned, GGGI aims to revise and adapt its methodology for conducting these assessments. In addition, GGGI will conduct several GGPAs in selected countries over the course of 2018. For reference, you can find an introductory video as well as the recording of a webinar given on the GGPA process in 2016 under the following links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suVz3fi3f_E http://www.greengrowthknowledge.org/learning/green-growth-potential-assessment-ggpa |
