Based in Seoul, The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as "green growth", which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and private sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.

  • developing long-term low-emission development strategies (LT-LEDS),
  • strengthening measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) analysis and guidelines, including capacity building,

  • measuring the Green Growth Index performance to support policy planning,
  • providing technical services related to Environmental and Social Safeguards in order to meet investor and financier requirements; and
  • producing GGGI’s flagship and strategic knowledge products.

 

One of CAID’s projects that aims to support long-term climate planning and action is the Green Growth Performance Measurement (GGPM) Program. The GGPM has two interlinked components – the Green Growth Index and a Simulation Tool (https://greengrowthindex.gggi.org/). This internship is related to the GGPM Program and its links to the overall objective of CAID.
