Parallel Session B - Presentation by Pranab Baruah
1) International cooperation in knowledge generation and sharing is important for addressing green growth issues like climate change and resource depletion that are global in nature. 2) Sharing knowledge and learning from successes and failures between institutions and across sectors helps provide different perspectives and maximizes resources for research innovation. 3) The Green Growth Knowledge Platform and Green Growth Best Practice Initiative are examples of international knowledge services that generate, manage, and share green growth research and best practices through online resources and global events.

- 2. Green Growth Objectives aremultiple and simultaneous Issues are global in nature and interlinked (climate change, resource depletion, poverty, inequality etc.) Challenging for a single country or entity to tackle (requires grasp of issues and interventions at cross-sectoral and cross-boarder level) Resources requirements significant (money, time and skills) wide-ranging and long-term Solutions require local approach with ownership of local stakeholders for acceptability and scaling up Additionally, there is increasing complexity and uncertainty in the problem space as well as solutions domain !

- 3. Solutions need a'Systems Approach' Collaboration across institutions and sectors - key for the 'helicopter view' of issues and for maximizing use of available resources - key to spur innovation (both in policy and technology) and to capture synergy benefits and manage trade-offs for multiple and simultaneous objectives Sharing of knowledge, success stories and learnings from failures is integral part of collaboration for research and innovation Diverse and local perspectives for enhancing relevance of research, applicability of research in evidence-based policy making and assisting relevant capacity development Elements of green economy transition Green Growth

- 13. Key learnings - Notan exact science and is a journey - requires commitments from all involved parties to be successful, sustainable and to create value for the involved parties - Role of facilitator(s) and/or knowledge broker is crucial to create the environment of trust and for members to rise above the institutional agendas to encourage open sharing of ideas and information - Institutions require strategy and appropriate resources to get most out of these initiatives, given the stake and talk on innovation and the value of collaboration - Diversity is key to enhancing relevance and value of such collaborative initiatives (entities, sectors, disciplines and regions)
- 14. Future work areasand challenges - Areas global platforms can play in catering to local/regional collaboration, knowledge sharing and capacity development needs (north-south, south-south knowledge sharing, technology transfer and capacity development for least developed and middle-income countries) - Win-win avenues for private sector engagement in knowledge sharing and capacity development, particularly in least developed (LD) and middle-income (MI) countries - Ways the existing initiatives can play in (near) real-time communication of on-the-ground insights and issues to green growth practitioners, policy-makers and researchers, particularly in regards to LD and MI economies - Effective model of engagement with research funding agencies and organizations for supporting identified knowledge gaps (e.g by GGKP Research Committees ?)
