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 supports stakeholders through complementary and integrated workstreams – Green Growth Planning & Implementation and Knowledge Solutions – that deliver comprehensive products designed to assist in developing, financing, and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans. GGGI supports the Government of Indonesia (GoI) in the focal areas including renewable energy, green cities and special economic zones, and forest and land-based mitigation and adaptation projects, green investment. The Program, known as the 'GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program' (GGP), aims to demonstrate that green investments can become the norm both for investors and planners, ultimately improving the quality of economic development for more environmental sustainability and social inclusion. Through the Program, GGGI collaborates with the Ministry of Development Planning (BAPPENAS) as the lead of the Steering Committee, the Ministry of Environment, the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, including the Ministry of Public Works, and others. In August 2023, GGGI started implementing a regional low-carbon building project.
The "Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition (ALCBT)" is a five-year project being implemented in five Asian countries – Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, with financial support from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) of Germany under the International Climate Initiative (IKI). GGGI is implementing the project through a consortium comprising of HEAT International, the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), and the Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). In Indonesia, the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) are the government counterparts for project implementation.
The ALCBT project seeks to significantly reduce GHG emissions by catalysing nationwide transitions towards low-carbon buildings (LCB) in Indonesia. Technical, planning, and institutional tools for low-carbon buildings will be developed and successfully implemented by key public and private sector stakeholders (including ministries, subnational administrative, developers, building owners, suppliers, engineers, and architects; multilateral and bilateral development institutes, financial services institutions such as ESCOs and banks; academia and training institutes) by the mid of 2028 (Outcome). The result will be achieved through the development of standardized tools and systems for managing carbon emissions from the building sector and piloting them in project countries (Output I); enhancement of capacity for current and future building industry practitioners (Output II); and establishment of financial pathways for low-carbon buildings (Output III). Additionally, project knowledge and tools will be accessible online and promoted systematically to stakeholders in project countries, across ASEAN and globally to create market demand, promote replication and scaling up of approach (Output IV).
To facilitate the scale-up of green financing in the building sector, a Green Finance Network (GFN) will be established and/or strengthened under Output III of the ALCBT project. It will be implemented at a national level across the five project countries. Designed to be industry-driven, the GFN will bring together banks, investment institutions, energy service companies, building-energy-financial regulators, and development finance institutions (DFIs) to create an enabling environment for LCB finance. This network will facilitate capacity building, knowledge sharing on financing products and services, business model development, and the creation of a project pipeline. In parallel, the ALCBT project will support the design and transition planning to ensure the GFN's operations are sustained after the project concludes. In Indonesia, there's significant potential to develop and expand green finance instruments, including green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, concessional finance, and blended investment models. This provides a substantial opportunity for the GFN to make a real impact.
In this regard, GGGI will engage an individual consultant with expertise in finance, economics, sustainable development, and/or other related fields. The consultant will play a key role in supporting the setup and operationalization of the Indonesia GFN, ensuring its activities are aligned with the priorities and maturity of the country's financial sector.
