What Is Korea Green Growth Trust Fund? The Republic of Korea (RoK) and the World Bank Group (WBG) established the Korea Green Growth Trust Fund (KGGTF) in September 2011 to support client countries shift to a green development path. Both partners shared a common goal to support countries as they reduce poverty and promote shared economic prosperity in an environmentally responsible and socially inclusive way. KGGTF finances and facilitates the sharing of Green Growth technical know-how in an effort to support WBG, International Finance Corporation (IFC), and client country project design and investment. KGGTF’s emphasis is on implementing economic pathways and solutions that integrate multi- sector needs, technological innovation, social inclusion, and Green Growth approaches. KGGTF leverages the real-world experience of policy makers and Green Growth technical practitioners to promote integrated Green Growth concepts into investment decisions. 2 KGID 2016
Based on strong performance, as well as increasing demand
for collaborative development implementation programs, our
fund was replenished at the end of 2015 and today has grown
from US$40 million to a US$88 million World Bank Group
program through 2021.

GREEN All About?
GROWTH
Have you been asked “what is Green Growth?
Well, you’ll find all of the answers at KGID 2016 Seoul,
where we will begin to discuss, share, and demonstrate
possible Green Growth pathways and programs.
Korea Green Innovation Days (KGID) is the WBG’s flagship Green Growth
knowledge-sharing event, organized and funded by the Korea Green Growth Trust
Fund (KGGTF). KGID 2016 is our 3rd annual event, which we are excited to be
presenting in the Republic of Korea.
The 3rd annual KGID 2016 is unique. We will share practical and tangible examples
of multiple global partners working toward achieving sustainable development.
A cadre of World Bank Group technical specialists, global decision makers from
thirteen countries, RoK officials, Korean experts and practitioners in green growth
and climate change will take part.
We define Green Growth as a holistic innovative approach to achieve sustainable
development and address climate change issues. Moreover, Green Growth leverages
technical and multi-faceted perspectives to drive smarter future growth.
