Membership Process and Guidelines for Application

The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) provides guidelines for its membership application process, emphasizing a commitment to collaboration and a transition toward a distributive delivery structure with regional and national hubs. The document outlines an interim review process managed by the UK global hub to screen applicants through due diligence and collaboration trials before final approval.

• The GEC is transitioning to a distributive delivery structure under its 10 Year Strategy, signed in February 2020, which intends to establish regional and national hubs to manage their own member bases. Until this is operational, an interim process is used to manage membership enquiries due to limited Steering Group (SG) availability.
• Membership in the GEC is free of charge, but members are expected to proactively engage in collaboration and adhere to specific green economy principles: good governance, sufficiency, planetary boundaries, justice, and wellbeing.
• The GEC's strategic geographical expansion focuses on consolidating existing hubs and expanding into neighboring countries. Priority for new hubs is given to Brazil, China, North America, and Europe, as well as countries listed in the GEC GE Tracker.
• The membership review process involves a 'trial by collaboration' to demonstrate commitment before joining. The UK global hub screens applications via desk-based research, peer reviews from existing members, and calls with applicants. Certain applications are escalated to the Steering Group, including those from global organisations, IGOs, businesses, campaign organisations, or those with clear positions on nuclear, population, or fossil fuels.
