Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) supports the Energy Modelling Platform for Africa, and the Energy Modelling Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development. These free events provide access to skilled trainers, discussion forums and coaching in models and tools for energy planning and analysis. The models and tools are all free and open source, and the courses are available at any time via the OpenLearn platform.
Who: Philanthropic Organisation
The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) programme helps to advance global collaboration on research into green grids in support of the Green Grids Initiative (GGI). Launched by world leaders at COP26 in Glasgow, the GGI forms the biggest ever global political coalition for clean energy. Its aim is to accelerate the construction of the new infrastructure needed for a world powered by clean energy. CCG research integrates with and supports GGI working groups with critical analysis and thought leadership. An example of this is CCG’s research paper on how climate finance can be mobilised to meet the large investments needed in grid infrastructure across emerging and developing economies.
The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) research programme develops national partnerships so that the needs of partner countries can be embedded into CCG research. CCG currently has six national partnership countries: Ghana, India, Kenya, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and Zambia. By promoting shared interests and having an appropriate in-country presence, effective collaborations based on country requirements are established to deliver impacts that fit the country’s needs. CCG expertise and processes are embedded within each partner country to create a community of practice (the Partner Country CCG Network), where researchers, influencers and decision-makers work together to co-create and implement research which harnesses CCG-derived evidence, tools and frameworks. This leads towards each Country CCG Network being considered a trusted broker of interdisciplinary, policy-facing research which policy makers can draw upon when developing financeable plans for climate compatible infrastructure projects.
