About GGI
The Green Governance Initiative (GGI) is a youth-based non-partisan policy research think-tank that works through a collaboration with elected representatives, policymakers, and administrators, to ensure the effective implementation of the “United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development along with India 2030”.
GGI aims in facilitating the outreach of various social welfare schemes to the grassroots level through the concept of Constituency Development through UNSDGs. The organisation also identifies potential inputs for sustainable and achievable outcomes, while ensuring optimum use of minimum resources. We further look forward to build a holistic synergy between top-down model of governance by collaborating with private investors, technologists, policy- makers, thinkers amongst various others. We also seek new innovations along with bottom-up interventions, which includes sustainable development approaches through the identification of actual needs, issues and aspirations via a mechanism which begins from grassroots community thereby transforming good governance to green governance. At GGI, we believe that it is important to promote and bring today's youth on the front foot for the development at ground zero by involving them in policy- making and governance. It is indeed crucial to provide a platform and strategize development in target constituencies thereby making them an Ideal Parliamentary Constituency.
