Economic Valuation of the Guam Green Growth Initiative
Guam Green Growth (G3) is the most comprehensive public-private partnership ever created to achieve a sustainable future for Guam. G3 develops tangible solutions to sustainability challenges and contributes to a green economy for the island region. In September 2019, Governor Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero and Lt. Governor Joshua F. Tenorio promulgated Executive Order 2019-23, creating a 100-member Working Group of government, academia, private sector, non-profit, and youth partners to transition Guam toward a sustainable future. The executive order assigned the facilitation of the Working Group to the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability.
The University of Guam (UOG) Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant (CIS/SG) leads and supports the transition of its island region toward a sustainable future. The Pacific Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (Pacific RISA) NOAA CAP program supports Pacific island and coastal communities in adapting to the impacts of climate variability and change. Through a joint effort, led by RISA PI and UOGCIS Director Dr. Austin Shelton, along with Researcher Regine Biscoe Lee, UOG CIS/SG and Pacific RISA will support the goals of both programs through a focus on the G3 initiative.
