13th Korea Green Innovation Days (KGID Jeju 2024)
Program details will be updated regularly, so stay tuned for the latest information!
We appreciate your interest and look forward to your participation.
Korea Green Innovation Days (KGID) is a flagship knowledge-sharing event on Green Growth organized and funded by the World Bank Korea Green Growth Trust Fund (KGGTF). Now in its 13th edition, KGID has a rich history of facilitating the exchange of practical examples and innovative approaches to achieving sustainable development. This esteemed event has been previously held in major international locations including Seoul, Washington DC, Dar es Salaam, and Cairo. This year, it will be hosted in Jeju, South Korea.
The theme for this year’s KGID, "Green Growth for a Livable Planet," focuses on showcasing progress in green growth and exploring avenues for expansion. This theme embraces the World Bank's recognition of the intertwined relationship between economic growth and environmental sustainability, highlighting the need for policy shifts that ensure a livable planet for future generations. The event will highlight project impacts, real-life examples, and creative solutions from development practitioners, offering insights into innovative policies and technologies while fostering networking through pre-arranged bilateral meetings.
Jeju is a leader in green growth initiatives, making it an ideal location for KGID 2024. The island aims to become a Carbon-Free Island by 2030, generating over half of its energy from renewable sources and having the highest electric vehicle penetration in South Korea. Jeju’s ambitious goals and achievements in renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and climate resilience exemplify its leadership in green growth, making it a fitting host for KGID 2024.
