Vibrant biodiversity.

Accelerated decarbonisation.

Our Mission

We facilitate Nature- and People-Positive renewable energy and grid deployment by establishing an industry-supported and government-endorsed monitoring and reporting framework on a global scale. 

Nature-Positive

In recognition of the established Nature-Positive definition, we work to identify the specific contributions of the wind, solar and electricity grid sectors to the targets set by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. 

People-Positive

We recognise the undeniable need to involve, respect and engage communities where wind, solar and electricity grids will be built. We aim to quantify progress in co-creating local, sustainable and long-term benefits.

VISION

A rapid energy transition enabled by wind, solar and electricity grids that embraces Nature- and People-Positive goals.

What We Do

The Global Initiative for Nature, Grids and Renewables (GINGR) aims to support the just and sustainable energy transition by providing assessment tools to quantify contributions to Nature- and People-Positive goals. To facilitate this, we intend to develop monitoring and reporting systems that are globally aligned and standardised.  

The initiative will support governments, companies, and the financial sector in achieving their energy, climate, and biodiversity targets in a timely and socially responsible manner.

Chair, GINGR International Advisory Board

Mitigation the climate crisis is not possible without healthy ecosystems and strong communities. Therefore response to the crises need to go hand-in-hand. GINGR aims to support governments, industries, civil society, and the financial sector in reaching their energy, climate and biodiversity targets in a timely and symbiotic manner. It will support, enhance and help monitor efforts towards these objectives while accelerating the green energy transition.”
