The Fourth Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) Annual Conference took place on the theme of “Transforming Development through Inclusive Green Growth” during 6-7 September 2016 at the International Convention Center on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea.
While 2015 represented a landmark year for achieving ambitious government commitments, resulting in adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), the Paris Climate Agreement, and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the challenge has now shifted to implementation and turning commitments into action. In order to scale-up inclusive green growth solutions that respond to these commitments, the Fourth GGKP Annual Conference drew together leading global experts, academics, and practitioners to identify, discuss, and debate the latest research and policy solutions. In particular, the discussions explored how to ensure the pursuit of green growth is equitable and inclusive.
This year’s conference was hosted by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and formed a major part of the Global Green Growth Week 2016 (#GGGWeek2016) to be held 5-9 September 2016. For the Annual Conference, GGGI partnered with the global university network Environment for Development (EfD) to ensure a wide range of views and research are represented at the event.
The GGKP, founded by GGGI, the OECD, UNEP, and the World Bank, is the world’s largest global partnership of organizations and experts committed to collaboratively generating, managing, and sharing green growth knowledge and data to mobilize a sustainable future.
The Conference drew together and engaged the world’s leading researchers, practitioners and policy makers in a number of plenary and parallel sessions in discussions that:
- Deliver the latest findings on policies and practices that stimulate inclusive green growth;
- Identify priorities for action by stakeholders to pursue the most promising policies and practices; and
- Build practitioner skills and define future research, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration opportunities to promote pro-poor inclusive green growth.
