G20 Background Paper: Green growth to achieve the Paris Agreement

This report focuses on the challenges and opportunities faced by developing countries that are related to the Paris Agreement. It reviews the experience of the Global Green Growth Institute's (GGGI's) member countries in the development of national green growth plans, NDC action plans and roadmaps, and the low-emission development strategy for a small island developing nation. It then evaluates experience related to the implementation and financing of such green growth plans in a number of high-priority areas, including the renewable energy transition, electrification of transportation, green buildings and infrastructure, and green employment. The report concludes with sections on financing the green growth transition and on recommendations for the G20.
