About GGAF

Green Growth Asia Foundation

Green Growth Asia Foundation (GGAF) is a civil society organisation that is involved in four areas of sustainability, namely Education for Sustainable Development, Green and Resilient City Development, Green Living for Sustainable Lifestyle and Partnerships for a Sustainable Future.

A Key Actor of
Individual Climate Action

The world’s climate is changing, why aren’t we?

Nations around the world have long geared towards becoming climate resilient. According to UNDP, climate action means “stepped-up efforts to reduce green- house gas emissions and strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-induced impacts, including: climate-related hazards in all countries; integrating climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning; and improving education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity with respect to climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.”

Taking this action to the ground level, GGAF focuses on four pathways to drive our mission.

GGAF's Vision

GGAF envisions a world where youth are equipped with a strong foundation to undertake Individual Climate Action as well as the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to act as global citizens in tackling climate change.

GGAF's Mission
