The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) is a global network dedicated to advancing sustainability and economic prosperity through the promotion of green economic policies and practices. Their main focus is on fostering a transition towards a green economy that is environmentally sustainable, socially inclusive, and economically equitable.
The key goals of the GEC include advocating for policies and practices that support sustainable development, engaging diverse stakeholders including governments, businesses, civil society organizations, and academia, and promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing among members to drive positive change.
The structure of the GEC consists of a network of organisations and individuals from around the world, including NGOs, research institutions, businesses, and government agencies, all working together towards the common goal of achieving a green economy. The coalition operates through various working groups, task forces, and regional hubs to facilitate collaboration and exchange of ideas.
In relation to sustainable finance, the GEC plays a crucial role in advocating for investments that prioritize environmental and social sustainability. They engage with financial institutions, investors, and policymakers to promote responsible investment practices and encourage the integration of environmental and social factors into financial decision-making.
The GEC provides a range of resources and tools to support its mission, including research reports, policy briefs, case studies, and practical guides on topics such as sustainable finance, green entrepreneurship, and green job creation. They also host events, workshops, and webinars to facilitate knowledge-sharing and capacity-building among members and stakeholders.
The Green Economy Coalition exists to accelerate this inclusive and sustainable transition.
