About the GGG

The GGG is a political and technical global platform announced at COP28 and launched in March 2024. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) and the Nigerian government.

The European Climate Foundation (ECF) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) serve as the GGG’s Secretariat, coordinating the platform's activities and engagement. Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) acts as technical partner, supporting the GGG's analytical work, recommendations, and market intelligence.

Our mission

The GGG connects policymakers, guarantee providers, financial institutions, investors, and technical experts to address barriers to guarantee deployment and accelerate the mobilization of private capital for sustainable development.

We support this by:

Facilitating dialogue

We convene governments, multilateral development banks, development finance institutions, guarantee providers, private financial institutions, civil society, and expert groups to strengthen coordination across the guarantee ecosystem.

Why guarantees matter

Guarantees are risk-sharing instruments that transfer specific risks from investors or lenders to a guarantor. By improving the risk-return profile of transactions, they can help mobilise private capital for investments that may otherwise be perceived as too risky, costly, or complex.

For emerging markets and developing economies, guarantees can support access to finance, reduce financing costs, extend tenors, and help build local financial capacity over time. This makes them a powerful tool for scaling investment for sustainable development.

According to the OECD, guarantees secured USD 17 billion of private investment for sustainable development in 2023 alone.
