INTRODUCTION:

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as green growth, which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.

GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that can impact the lives of millions.

The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and the private sector to help build strong economies that are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.

GGGI supports stakeholders through complementary and integrated workstreams that deliver comprehensive products designed to assist in developing, financing, and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans.

GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world.

These in-country programs, together with global products and services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to countries' development priorities.

CONTEXT:

Over the last decade, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) has consolidated its role as a trusted advisor to Mexico's federal and subnational governments, actively working shoulder-to-shoulder with key counterparts to establish a strong green growth foundation in the country.

In 2014, the Mexican Senate ratified the Agreement for the Establishment of GGGI, which signals Mexico's commitment to green growth and its recognition of the shared value of this development paradigm in cooperation with GGGI.

In 2021, the Country Agreement between GGGI and Mexico was signed between the Mexican Foreign Affairs Secretariat and GGGI; hence, formally recognizing GGGI as one the country's key partnering international intergovernmental organizations.

From its inception in Mexico (2013), GGGI has supported the federal government to develop the National Climate Change Strategy and the Special Climate Change Program.

From there, GGGI expanded its work to support the government with tools and analyses to manage air quality, improve public transport, reduce the use of private vehicles and promote cleaner, more efficient mobility.

GGGI has also partnered with the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) to develop workstreams at the subnational level.

One such initiative was GGGI's technical and advisory role for the Environmental Commission of the Megalopolis (CAMe), where GGGI supported efforts to improve the air quality of the region.

In addition, GGGI worked alongside the State of Sonora to develop and adopt its Green Growth Strategy (SGGS) and governance mechanism, which has been instrumental for the development of green growth initiatives in the state in line with the priority areas of the GGS.

In more recent years, GGGI has also partnered with Mexico's Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to improve the climate finance architecture in the country and enhance Mexico's access to climate finance through preparing local financing institutions to access funds from the GCF.

The latter has opened the doors for GGGI to Mexico's financial system, enabling to work with regulators and regulated entities for mobilizing green finance.

Lastly, Mexico also hosts GGGI's Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.
