AIIB & GGGI climate cooperation

Highlights

AIIB and GGGI signed a letter of intent at COP31 in Türkiye to jointly develop climate-resilient, sustainable infrastructure pipelines and share project information.
The cooperation extends to tailored work in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, leveraging GGGI's on-the-ground presence to advance AIIB's sustainable investment goals.
AIIB reports USD100 billion in capital, 111 approved members, and AAA credit ratings, while GGGI engages with 55 members and over 57 countries on green investment initiatives.

Framework targets project pipeline development

As reported by AIIB, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Global Green Growth Institute have agreed under a letter of intent signed during COP31 in Türkiye to strengthen cooperation on sustainable infrastructure, climate resilience and green development.

The two institutions say they are pursuing a more systematic and practical approach in economies of mutual interest, connecting project preparation and technical assistance with the development of a pipeline of investment-ready projects. The arrangement also supports the exchange of project pipeline information and the identification of opportunities for cofinancing, technical assistance and joint project preparation.

AIIB Vice President for Investment Solutions Ajay Bhushan Pandey says climate-resilient infrastructure requires not only financing but also well-prepared projects and strong technical foundations. He says the partnership with GGGI provides a practical framework to connect technical expertise and project preparation with financing opportunities while supporting a more coordinated approach in shared member countries.

Country-level work extends Indonesia and Papua New Guinea focus

Two project-level addenda extend the framework to initiatives in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, allowing the institutions to tailor cooperation to national priorities and project needs. The partners also aim to explore further opportunities by drawing on GGGI's country presence and green-growth expertise to support AIIB's sustainable infrastructure investments.

AIIB, which began operations in 2016, says it has 111 approved members worldwide, USD100 billion in capital and AAA ratings from major international credit rating agencies. GGGI, an intergovernmental organization established in 2012, says it works with 55 members and 30 partner countries and regional integration organizations, with programs in more than 57 countries tied to green investment, policy support and implementation of climate and development goals.
