LuxDev and GGGI strengthen their collaboration to accelerate green growth initiatives
LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Agency, and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) celebrate a new milestone in their partnership to support countries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.
On this 24 October 2024, Manuel TONNAR, Director General of LuxDev, and Julie GODIN, Head of GGGI Office in Luxembourg, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between both institutions, that will accelerate and expand the support on green growth and climate action in developing countries and emerging economies.

The MoU aims to leverage the complementary strengths of both organisations in areas such as climate adaptation and mitigation, waste management, climate-resilient agriculture and sustainable forestry, among others. Together, LuxDev and GGGI will develop initiatives that promote climate finance mobilisation, financial inclusion, and the creation of green jobs.
"As environmental sustainability is one of LuxDev's key cross-cutting themes, we are delighted to have signed this MoU, which will enable us to develop joint initiatives and make our activities even more effective on the ground", highlighted Manuel TONNAR.
Dr. Frank RIJSBERMAN, Director General of GGGI, commanded the strong collaboration between GGGI and the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as evidenced by this new chapter. “Given our shared vision for climate action and our commitment to supporting the countries we serve, I believe this partnership holds significant potential to drive meaningful change."
GGGI and LuxDev are currently discussing collaboration in several countries, such as Benin on the establishment of a climate finance unit, and Rwanda on climate resilient agriculture, circular waste management and climate finance.
