The World Bank-KDI Green Growth Seminar, scheduled for February 28, 2024, at the World Bank HQ in Washington, DC, emerges as a collaborative effort between the Korea Development Institute (KDI) and the World Bank, reflecting a shared commitment to fostering sustainable green transitions. This seminar is a response to the World Bank's 2023 announcement of a new vision and mission: a world free of poverty on a livable planet.
With Korea positioned as a key player in green growth, particularly through the Korea Green Growth Trust Fund (KGGTF), the seminar aims to synergize knowledge exchange, technological advancements, and policy insights between Korea and the World Bank. As a leading think-tank in Korea, KDI plays a pivotal role in researching and formulating green transition policies, making it an ideal collaborator for this seminar.
The objectives are to disseminate research findings, offer insights into pivotal policy domains associated with green growth, and align with the overarching objectives of the KGGTF.
The seminar unfolds across four sessions, each addressing a crucial aspect of the green transition journey. These sessions encompass strategies for sustainable green transition, the implementation of effective policies, financial considerations, and insights from global studies. The seminar's core objective is to facilitate dialogue, share expertise, and contribute to a collective understanding of green growth, laying the groundwork for transformative policies and actions that align with the sustainable development goals of both Korea and the World Bank.
