United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) recently became a knowledge partner of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP).

The GGKP is a dynamic global network of researchers, development practitioners, and policy makers that identifies and addresses major knowledge gaps in green growth theory and practice. Through widespread consultation and world-class research, the GGKP aims to provide practitioners and policy makers with better analytical and policy tools to foster green growth and move towards an inclusive green economy.

Knowledge Partners of the GGKP constitute a network of institutions interested in periodic exchanges about their respective work programs in the green growth space and, when mutually beneficial, collaboration on research and knowledge sharing activities. Knowledge Partners are also instrumental in fostering a green growth community of practice through contributions to the GGKP website, www.ggkp.org, and other outreach activities.
