The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is a global network of experts and organizations dedicated to providing the policy, business, and finance communities with knowledge, guidance, data, and tools to transition to an inclusive green economy. 

The 2030 Agenda calls for a “robust, voluntary, effective, participatory, transparent and integrated follow-up and review framework” to monitor progress against the SDGs (United Nations, 2015). A global SDG indicator framework was adopted by the General Assembly on 6 July 2017 as per the Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on Work of the Statistical Commission pertaining to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (A/RES/71/313).

The Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) was launched in 2013 as a response to the call at Rio+20 to support those countries wishing to embark on greener and more inclusive growth trajectories.

U4E is a global effort supporting developing countries and emerging economies to move their markets to energy-efficient appliances and equipment.

Under the leadership of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), U4E brings together all key stakeholders active in the area of product efficiency. U4E:

Seed Capital Investment Facility (SCAF) mobilizes private investment in renewable energy projects and ventures in frontier markets. SCAF, a $19 million facility, works through private sector investment funds to support their engagement in early stage development and future financing of renewable energy projects and ventures.

Renewable Energy Performance Platform (REPP) supports the growth of sub-Saharan Africa's renewable energy industry by mobilizing private investment in renewable energy. Supported by the EIB and UNEP, the REPP programme supports renewable energy projects in sub-Sahara Africa with early financing, i.e. development cost support, and early debt or equity capital. 

The FC4S Network is structured as a partnership between financial centres and the United Nations Environment Programme, which acts as its Convenor and Secretariat. The objective of the network is to exchange experience and take common action on shared priorities to accelerate the expansion of green and sustainable finance. The long-term vision of the FC4S Network is rapid global growth of green and sustainable finance across the world’s financial centres, supported by strengthened international connectivity, and a framework for common approaches.

The world’s financial centres are the locations where supply and demand for green and sustainable finance will be matched. This report presents the first findings from an in-depth assessment of actions in 13 of these hubs, all members of the International Network of Financial Centres for Sustainability (FC4S) across Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe. The assessment reveals 10 key insights on how financial centres are mobilizing their expertise, connectivity and capital to help solve some of the world’s toughest financing challenges

A key challenge facing many resource-rich countries is how to mobilize and effectively use volatile revenues from resource extraction, while addressing social and environmental externalities of mining activities.
