BACKGROUND
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Korea Green Growth Trust Fund (KGGTF), the green growth partnership between the World Bank Group (WBG) and the Republic of Korea. Since its inception in 2012, as a technology-driven and implementation-focused trust fund, the KGGTF has supported partner countries in their innovative and sustainable solutions, strategies, and investments geared towards Green, Resilient, and Inclusive Development (GRID). The KGGTF portfolio now supports 196 green growth programs and activities around the world, reaching a total of $106 million and leveraging over $17 billion in WBG lending and external co-financing.
The 10th Anniversary Conference, co-hosted by the WBG-KGGTF and the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Korea, will bring together key players in the KGGTF global family: 300 participants from client countries, World Bank project teams, Korean partners, and future generations.
