Green Economy Transition (GET) Programmes

About the project

Green Economy Transition (GET) Programmes are created to promote climate technology transfer into markets, developing specific measures to enable local environment for technology transfer, addressing policy, institutional, financial, and technical barriers, and to increase capacity of businesses to innovate in all areas of climate technologies’ development and deployment.

KEY RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Green Economy Transition (GET) Programmes (designed, implemented and evaluated) are part of a global drive towards climate technology transfer for developing countries and countries in transition. These funded programmes are created to promote climate technology transfer into markets, developing specific measures to enable local environment for technology transfer, addressing policy, institutional, financial, and technical barriers, and to increase capacity of businesses to innovate in all areas of climate technologies’ development and deployment. The main goal is to mainstream the Green Economy Transition (GET) approach by promoting sustainable energy and resource investments, to promote the market transition in countries of operations into environmentally sustainable economies, and to operate under the principles of additionality and transition impact. The strategy is to tackle against climate change through its climate finance, as well as supporting green growth of economies that goes beyond energy efficiency, renewables, resources efficiency and climate resilience measures to other environmental measures, such as reducing air pollution and land degradation. However, the urgency to scale-up those activities has always to match-up with the request of proof on ensuring that the investments stay within the principles of additionality and transition impact, i.e. there would not be other commercial investors willing to finance the technologies, therefore the programme would be additional, and not crowding out the commercial investors.
