Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is a global community of policy, business, and finance professionals and organizations committed to generating, managing, and sharing knowledge collaboratively on the transition to an inclusive green economy.

The GGKP's three knowledge platforms – the Green Policy Platform, Green Industry Platform, and Green Finance Platform – enable policymakers and advisors, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and banks, insurance, and investment firms to make evidence-based decisions regarding how to green their operations. Webinars, courses, and academic programs are also featured on the platforms to facilitate green growth professionals' ongoing education and capacity building. 

The GGKP facilitates engagement on knowledge and learning through the Green Forum – an online interactive community space for professionals to share and discuss insights in the pursuit of a sustainable economic transition. The Green Forum features discussions on global issues and the ability for users to form specialized groups centered on particular topics, initiatives, and projects.
