The new partnership aims to enhance communities' quality of life and ensure ongoing sustainability by facilitating global exchanges and supporting ethical, high-quality scientific research in sustainable infrastructure, climate adaptation and resilient ecosystems.

“By joining forces with UNOPS, we can leverage our collective expertise and resources to create a more resilient and equitable world," said Satya S. Tripathi, Secretary-General of GASP.

This research is designed to generate actionable insights and practical solutions for sustainable development challenges. Additionally, by promoting engagement with indigenous peoples and vulnerable communities and integrating local knowledge, the partnership looks to generate investment opportunities and policy innovations.

To ensure financial sustainability, GASP and UNOPS will build stakeholder partnerships to drive large-scale social and environmental impact identifying prospective institutional counterparts and private sector entities for partnership opportunities in climate action, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. They will facilitate exchanges and connections between relevant government bodies and institutions engaged in rural development, sustainable agriculture, energy efficiency and energy access.

Looking towards a more inclusive future, the agreement seeks to harness opportunities that bridge the gap between government, the private sector, and communities to achieve large-scale social impact.

The Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet (GASP), a US-based public organization, catalyzes virtuous partnerships among governments, international organizations, entrepreneurs, earth champions, and global investors to tackle the world's most pressing challenges, including climate adaptation and resilient ecosystems.
