Green Growth Pathways

Green Growth Pathways is a World Economic Forum initiative that helps leaders from business, policy and financial institutions translate climate and nature ambition into practical, investible and relevant transition pathways that unlock new sources of sustainable growth and deliver economic and planetary resilience.

Our objectives

Integrated climate, nature and resilience economic strategies

Develop regional roadmaps that help business, finance and government leaders identify priority actions, sequencing, investment needs and implementation opportunities for climate- and nature-positive growth.

Capital mobilization

Mobilise investible net-zero and nature-positive opportunities and pipelines across priority sectors, supported by clearer business cases, investor-industry engagement and actionable pathways for capital deployment.

Sustainable infrastructure

Reimagine infrastructure investment – from data centres to roads and bridges to nature – to ensure a sustainable and resilient future.

An economy that works for people and planet

Accelerate market-shaping progress towards a “priced-in economy”, where climate and nature risks, dependencies and opportunities are better integrated into economic planning, investment decisions and corporate strategy.

Our workstreams on green growth pathways

Regional Roadmaps for Climate, Nature and Resilience

This workstream develops practical, region-specific roadmaps that translate science, sector pathways and economic analysis into clear transition narratives. These plans identify priority actions, key actors, sequencing, investment needs and implementation opportunities, helping business and government leaders understand what needs to happen, when and by whom.

Green AI Infrastructure

The use of AI is driving an unprecedented infrastructure build-out that faces challenges from local communities and stakeholders on water, energy, and land. We work with private sector leaders, financiers and policymakers to adopt and incentivize more sustainable and climate resilient practices in the AI infrastructure space.

Scaling Nature-Positive Investment Pathways

This workstream identifies and scales high-potential nature-positive investment opportunities across sectors and works with investors and financial institutions to make investments more sustainable. It connects investors, companies and public-sector actors to build shared understanding, accelerate transactions and support the emergence of investible pipelines.

Nature Positive Transitions

The Nature Positive Transitions initiative developed guidance for key sectors of the economy, enabled financial institutions to support business transitions, and identified key opportunities and innovation for nature-positive transitions. These efforts aligned with the targets set by the Global Biodiversity Framework, ensuring our strategies support global commitments to protect and restore the natural world.
