Research and Analysis

The Office of Thought Leadership (TL) is responsible for developing and coordinating a compelling and rigorous evidence base that showcases impact to key audiences – internal and external – through policy research, analysis, and data-driven tools and methodologies – resources that should have strategic planning and practical application value. It will promote knowledge sharing, leverage international partnerships to expand our impact. Activities under TL are intended to directly contribute to or complement operational projects and outputs, while simultaneously expanding and demonstrating GGGI’s leadership in shaping the green growth discourse and dialogue internationally. Policy research and analysis activities are aimed at helping GGGI develop strategic evidence base, frameworks, guidelines, and analytical models for shaping and influencing the green growth discourse internationally, and supporting evidence- based green growth programs for impact on the ground. GGGI’s policy research and analysis directly supports development and alignment of GGGI’s operational strategy for NDC and SDG implementation in partner countries. The activities encompass (multi-country) cross-cutting as well as sectoral projects in the energy, transport and green cities sectors. Knowledge sharing activities encompass strengthening and expanding GGGI’s work in climate diplomacy, data-driven green growth tools and methodologies, and international green growth knowledge platforms and databases. In addition to these activities, TL continues to support in-country delivery through knowledge products and services that are based on the analysis and extraction of internal as well as external experiences, contextualization of best practices, and packaging of new knowledge, insights, innovations, data, tools, and methodologies.
