The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Over the last decade, GGGI has consolidated its role as a trusted advisor to Mexico's federal and subnational governments, actively working with key counterparts to establish a solid foundation for green growth in the country. In recent years, GGGI has partnered with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), as well as with the United Kingdom through its UKPACT program, to improve the architecture of climate finance in the country and improve Mexico's access to climate resources by preparing local financial institutions, highlighting the role of development banking, to access GCF funds.

GGGI Mexico has a growing portfolio of programs managing a diverse set of programs and projects focused on four key thematic areas of energy, green cities, water, and land-use as well as the cross-cutting areas of climate change and socially inclusive development, all of which contribute significantly to the potential for achieving green growth in Mexico.

Following these thematic areas, GGGI Mexico requires technical support for the development of a Roadmap for the Implementation of the NDC, in its mitigation component, that will be the basis to define the strategy of the for the Government of Mexico and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) for the achievement of the goals set forth in the updated NDC presented at COP 27 in 2022.
