SWITCH to Green promotes knowledge sharing and collaborative strength, with the Facility engaging in actions expanding EU knowledge on green economy tools and processes. By working to protect the environment and generate green economies in developing countries, the initiative supports EU environmental standards, improves the health of the global economy, and encourages better imports for Europe.

SWITCH to Green operates in line with the EU’s commitment to cooperate closely with international organisations as part of a global drive for environmental and economic sustainability. The Flagship Initiative has worked with international organisations from the beginning; collaboration is its key tool for mainstreaming inclusive green economy action.

SWITCH to Green works with various EU actors to enhance international progress towards green transition. Through technical assistance, including information and capacity building, the SWITCH to Green Facility assists EU Delegations and Directorates in effecting an inclusive green economy. The Facility works closely with EU DG International Cooperation and Development (DEVCO) units to assist them in identifying, formulating, monitoring and coordinating actions promoting an inclusive green economy.
