Guam Green Growth

Aligned with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Guam Green Growth Initiative cultivates an ecosystem for transformative action to achieve a more sustainable, prosperous, and equitable future for our island. The United Nations emphasizes that we are in a critical 9-year window to act on the most significant global sustainability challenges before 2030. With the backdrop of COVID-19 affecting economies, food systems, and the survival of our most vulnerable, Guam Green Growth (G3) is an engine of solutions and innovation to help Guam build back better, fairer, and more resilient. In recognition of steps Guam has taken to advance sustainable action, and through partnerships developed through the Office of the Governor of Guam, the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability (CIS), Global Island Partnership (GLISPA), and the Hawaii Green Growth Local2030 Islands Hub, Guam was invited to join an international community of island leaders at Climate Week NYC during the 74th United Nations General Assembly in 2019 as a founding member of the Local2030 Islands Network to advance local and global Sustainable Development Goals. Through the Guam Green Growth Initiative, the creation of the G3 Working Group, and the adoption of the G3 Action Framework, Guam will develop tangible solutions to sustainability challenges and contribute to a green economy for the island region.
