Green Industrial Policy Initiative (GRIP).

A strategic accelerator to address the international barriers constraining green industrial policy across the Global South.

Green industrialisation is essential for climate commitments and inclusive development, yet it is systematically held back by high capital costs, debt burdens, restrictive trade and intellectual property rules, and governance structures that marginalise Southern voices.

GRIP intervenes at the political level, reframing green industrial policy not as a risky deviation from global norms, but as a necessary and legitimate response to shared challenges that demands reform of the international rules and institutions that currently obstruct it.

GRIP advances this agenda through three integrated levers: narrative change, coalition-building, and targeted spotlights on key reform moments. Rather than duplicating existing technical work, it shapes the political conditions in which reforms can gain traction.
