The estimated global value of public procurement is approximately US$11 trillion, representing 12 percent of global GDP. Green public procurement (GPP) uses the public sector’s purchasing power to achieve environmental objectives. GPP is part of a broader sustainable public procurement agenda that addresses economic, social, and environmental concerns. The World Bank Group support for GPP reforms is aligned with the Bank’s twin goals-to end extreme poverty within a generation and boost shared prosperity-and its commitments to sustainable development and the Climate Change Action Plan 2021-2025.
