New Web Platform Launched to Accelerate Green Economy Transition
A robust, state-of-the art knowledge-sharing platform was launched today by the newly established Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP), a diverse consortium of leading institutions and organizations working in areas related to green growth and green economy. The website is in response to the increasing demand from both policy makers and the public for information on ways to achieve sustainable economic growth.
“The GGKP is quickly emerging as the leading platform for managing and sharing knowledge around green growth and its new web platform will help to empower others”, said Howard Bamsey, Director-General of the Global Green Grown Institute (GGGI).
As of January 2014, the GGKP confirms agreements with 29 knowledge partners, including international organization, research institutes and think tanks. Moving forward, the GGKP will work with these partners to promote collaboration and coordinated research on a number of priority themes, including green growth indicators and measurement, trade and competitiveness and green technology and innovation.
