INTRODUCTION TO GGGI

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.  

GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies and bankable projects that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and the private sector to help build economies that achieve strong growth and are less carbon intensive, more resilient to climate change, and more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources.

The Paris Agreement provides a comprehensive framework for signatory Parties to reach an ambitious commitment to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C in a cooperative manner. This framework covers a number of instruments including cooperative approaches under Article 6 which allows signatory countries (and private sector entities authorized by these countries) to engage in international carbon transactions. The Carbon Pricing Department (CPD) of GGGI is a global leader in Article 6 international carbon trading technical assistance, implementing several programs since 2019 related to preparing and supporting countries in trading, opening up international carbon markets. The resultant flow of transactions is envisaged to build a robust and reliable global price for carbon, something many areas of the private sector have long called for as a way to motivate the transformational change needed to achieve the ambitious goals of Paris.

The Carbon Transaction Facility (CTF), launched in October 2024, one of the primary mechanisms through GGGI supports its member and partner countries to achieve readiness to engage in the international carbon markets established under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The CTF is a collection of funds that cover the full spectrum of Article 6 cooperation – from readiness to transactions of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs). GGGI serves as manager for the “Readiness Facility,” which targets four key strategic readiness outcomes: (1) Awareness raising and capacity building; (2) Article 6 governance framework development; (3) Mitigation activity (project) origination; and (4) Multi-directional knowledge exchange.

Within the Readiness Facility program, the Strategic Hub for Article 6 Readiness Exchange (SHARE) project is a 3-year flagship global initiative that will build a structured knowledge ecosystem to support GGGI members and partners in preparing for and participating in Article 6 markets. The SHARE project will work across all scales – from national to global – to enable knowledge creation, transfer, exchange, and management, anchoring the Readiness Facility’s learning agenda to improve in-country delivery and scale-up of Article 6 market development globally. The project includes activities such as development of global knowledge products, capacity building, structured knowledge transfer and exchange in both in-person regional and global events as well as through webinars, and the implementation of an online knowledge hub (website) to disseminate knowledge across the globe.
