Description:
The Global Green Economy Index (GGEI) measures the green economy performance of 160 countries across 18 indicators. Our measurement approach accounts for two considerations: the progress on each indicator from 2005 to the present and the distance between each country’s current performance and that required to reach global sustainability targets.
The GGEI is defined by four key dimensions: climate change & social equity, sector decarbonization, markets & ESG investment, and environmental health. The GGEI was the first green economy index, launched in 2010, and today is the most widely referenced product of its kind internationally, utilized by researchers, policymakers, international organizations, ESG investors, and companies to evaluate and understand linkages between country green economy performance and their own sustainability agendas.
Societal impact:
The GGEI informs academic research, influences policy debate, is used to benchmark performance, inform ESG investment strategy, communicate areas that need improvement, and educate diverse stakeholders how they too can promote progress. The GGEI is also useful as the foundation for creating customized sustainability measurement frameworks for a diverse range of stakeholders.
