**INTRODUCTION TO GGGI**:
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.

GGGI is seeking to expand its sustainable finance footprint in Colombia to accelerate the transformation of financial sector architecture to drive increased financial flows towards NDC and SDG goals.

**CONTEXT**:
GGGI has a rapidly expanding sustainable finance portfolio, assisting public and private financial sector actors to design, structure and bring to market innovative sustainable finance solutions, including green, social and sustainability bonds, sustainability-linked instruments, debt for nature/climate swaps, green credit and guarantee schemes. Since 2017, GGGI has successfully mobilized investment commitments exceeding USD 10 billion towards its member countries’ NDC and SDG goals.

In 2024 GGGI entered a partnership with the European Commission (EC) to deliver technical assistance under the framework of the EU Global Green Bond Initiative (GGBI). Under the framework of the GGBI, GGGI is tasked to promote the development of green bond markets by accompanying first-time issuers in EU partner countries across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Southeast Asia (SEA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to enter the green bond market.

GGGI is to support a minimum of twenty (20) issuers from low
- and middle-income countries throughout the issuance of green bonds, mobilizing at least USD 3 billion, yielding significant environmental and economic benefits, including a reduction of emissions equivalent to 130 million tons of CO2e, the sustainable management of 300,000 hectares of forest, the creation of 250,000 green jobs and enhance the climate change resilience of 2 million beneficiaries.

For the Colombian program, sustainable finance includes designing, structuring, and operating mechanisms and instruments for green financing that will drive the country's economy toward its climate and sustainability goals.
