GGGI is committed to supporting the Solomon Islands in achieving climate resilience and sustainable development through green growth initiatives. GGGI has been operating in the Solomon Islands since 2019 and has so far completed 9 projects with 7 currently ongoing which are all geared to meet this objective. These projects were and are all part of GGGI’s Pacific regional projects with subcomponents for Solomon Islands.

In May 2024, GGGI initiated its first national project, the Climate Resilience Green Growth (CRGG) project, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology (MECDMM) and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) as the donor partner.  The proposed project which replicates the CRGG model in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and other GGGI member and partner countries will have four components/outcomes which are:

1. Provincial governments in the pilot provinces successfully mainstream CRGG into their policy, planning and budgets.
2. Solomon Islands mobilizes increased climate finance and green investments for high quality and impactful CRGG projects (target USD 30 million).
3. Solomon Islands identifies and implements new financing mechanisms and increased private sector engagement for CRGG.
4. GEDSI benefits are increased through CRGG outcomes and outputs.
