KEY MESSAGES
Halting the rise in global temperatures, addressing the impacts of climate change, and delivering the national development goals of countries around the world cannot be achieved by any one government, organization, or stakeholder. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are critical to driving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and meeting NDCs commitments. The transition to a model of economic growth that is green - that is climate-resilient, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive - can only be accomplished through strong, innovative, and catalytic partnerships.
Recognizing the importance of partnerships to deliver at greater scale and impact, GGGI has committed to identifying and engaging with partners that share its mission. In 2018, GGGI developed over 70 partnerships in the delivery of 30 projects. GGGI’s diverse partnerships count
governments, financial institutions, the private sector, academics institutions in developing and developed countries, intergovernmental organizations, and global initiatives and platforms that bring together stakeholders and scale-up green growth impact.
GGGI’s development of longer-term partnerships with stakeholders benefit its Member and partner countries and the organization itself. Prioritizing delivery of work with strategic partners rather than outsourced consultancies allows GGGI to build its in-house capacity and better maintain and share knowledge gained though project implementation. GGGI's growing network of partners provide Member and partner countries with increasing opportunities to leverage knowledge and capacity and mobilize climate finance to realize green investments.
MESSAGES FROM THE LEADERSHIP
Message from the President of the Assembly and Chair of the Council
Dear Friends and Members of the
Global Green Growth Institute,
Two-thousand eighteen brought further stark warnings that the traditional model of development is unsustainable. Record setting temperatures, wildfires and increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods vividly illustrated the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on 1.5°C, that an increase in warming from the current 1°C to 1.5-2°C will significantly increase the impacts of climate change and may result in catastrophic events and irreversible systemic changes.
Message from the
Director-General
Dear Green Growth Stakeholders,
I have now been Director-General of GGGI for over 2 years. Since arriving in October 2016, we have implemented the organization’s Work Program and Budget (WPB) 2017-18, while at the same time building a new business model and taking the first steps to develop our next 10-year strategy.
The results delivered in 2018 and the impact that GGGI will catalyze in the decade to come are the culmination of the organization’s commitment to its green growth mission and our transformational actions to become more flexible and innovative, and capable of catalyzing inclusive, environmentally sustainable growth at scale and where it will achieve most impact.

PARTNERING TO CATALYZE GREEN GROWTH
Halting the rise in global temperatures, addressing the impacts of climate change, and delivering the national development goals of countries around the world cannot be achieved by any one government, organization, or stakeholder. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are critical to driving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and meeting NDCs commitments. The transition to a model of economic growth that is green - that is climate-resilient, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive – can only be accomplished through strong, innovative, and catalytic partnerships.
Recognizing the importance of partnerships to deliver at greater scale and impact, GGGI has committed to identifying and engaging with partners that share its mission. In 2018, GGGI developed over 71 partnerships
in the delivery of 30 projects. GGGI’s diverse partnerships count governments, financial institutions, the private sector, academics institutions in developing and developed countries, intergovernmental organizations, and global initiatives and platforms that bring together stakeholders and scale-up green growth impact.
GGGI’s development of longer-term partnerships with stakeholders benefit its Member and partner countries and the organization itself. Prioritizing delivery of work with
strategic partners rather than outsourced consultancies allows GGGI to build its in-house capacity and better maintain and share knowledge gained though project implementation. GGGI growing network of partners provide Member and partner countries with increasing opportunities to leverage knowledge and capacity and mobilize climate finance to realize green investments.
In 2018, GGGI’s Member and partner countries achieved impactful green growth results. Results that can be replicated in other countries, brought to scale to increase impact, and catalyze knowledge sharing and partnership with other countries. From the launch of a national e-mobility action plan by the Nepalese government and the extension of a Norwegian-Colombian partnership to combat deforestation, to the mobilization of Green Climate Fund finance to develop green cities in Rwanda and the establishment of a national financing vehicle to increase renewables and energy access in Vanuatu, GGGI’s Member and partner countries demonstrated that growth can be green.
The following stories highlight a number of the impactful green growth successes that GGGI’s Member and partner countries achieved over the course of the year in collaboration with GGGI and its committed partners.

Over the course of the year, GGGI continued to strengthen the integration of its business units to enable and enhance impact of on the ground delivery.
Since 2017, GGGI has shifted strategic focus toward the ‘right side’ of its Value Chain with the clear intention to accelerate the implementation of green growth projects and transformational change in Member and partner countries, and ensure greater visibility of green growth outcomes and impacts.
CORPORATE RESULTS FRAMEWORK
GGGI’s corporate results are reported annually at the end of every year to measure Work Program Budget (WPB) results and achievements against GGGI’s corporate targets as set out in the Refreshed Corporate Results Framework (CRF) 2015-2020 and the delivery of GGGI’s Refreshed Strategic Plan 2015-2020. The purpose is twofold: first to demonstrate the impact of GGGI’s support in the transformation of Member and partner countries toward a green growth pathway; and second, to be transparent and account for GGGI’s activities and results to donors and key stakeholders.

GGGI also took a range of actions under the umbrella of the iGROW reforms to reinforce and strengthen its management for results under a more effective results-based management (RBM) system.
The RBM serves as a strategic management tool that integrates and drives GGGI interventions and service along its Value Chain toward the achievement of higher-level outcomes and impacts, which align with Member and partner countries SDGs and NDCs commitments.
