Embracing green growth in cities is one urgent priority for addressing the environment and climate emergency. In this report, GGGI address some of the challenges and opportunities in achieving green growth in cities.
The report discusses how GGGI has worked with line ministries and municipal governments to develop green city plans and frameworks in countries such as Nepal, Senegal, Rwanda, and Cambodia, and how this work has created a stronger enabling environment, a more predictable policy framework, and robust institutional capabilities to support green transitions at the local level. It also highlights case studies on sustainable mobility and green infrastructure, including in Jordan, Fiji, Lao PDR, the Philippines, and Mongolia.
