Global Green Growth Institute

GGGI originated as a think tank in 2010, initiated by then President of South Korea Lee Myung-bak. In 2012, GGGI was transformed into an international treaty-based organization, a change formalized at the Rio+20 Summit in Brazil. GGGI operates under an agreement from its member countries established in 2012. The governance structure includes the Assembly, encompassing all member countries, and the Council, which is in charge of strategy, budget, and membership. An Advisory Committee of experts also contributes strategic guidance. Membership in GGGI is open to any United Nations member state aligned with its green growth objectives. ==References==
