Launch of UN/PAGE Report with interested partners from August 2017 onwards
Panel Addis in December 2017
GGKP Conference in late 2017/early 2018 involving GReCEST partners

4. Related Projects |
At DIE we are pursuing a range of complementary activities, including various specialized research projects and a joint report with UN/PAGE on Green Industrial Policy. As ownership for the Green Transformation issue seems to be fairly weak so far among GReCEST members we will try to create synergies with other networks and bring more Green Transformation researchers into the network.
5. COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ENTITY |
Synergies can be exploited in particular with GGKP Trade & Competitiveness Committee
DIE had a cooperation project with UN-ECLAC until 2016 in Industrial Policy, extension is currently negotiated => potential to bring more Latin American institutions into GReCEST
Trying to get funding from German development cooperation for future activities
