7 out of 10 for the High Level Panel

The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) issued a statement responding to the UN High Level Panel's vision for the post-2015 development agenda, praising the move toward a single, unified global agenda while calling for more specific targets on inequality, biodiversity, and green skills.

• The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) and its partners, including Development Alternatives and the STEPS Centre, support the UN High Level Panel's vision of a single, unified global development agenda for the post-2015 period that is guided by sustainable development principles and allows for national and sub-national implementation.
• The GEC advocates for a stronger focus on measuring and addressing global inequality beyond traditional growth models, specifically highlighting the responsibility of wealthy nations.
• While the GEC supports the goal of limiting climate change to 2 degrees Centigrade and the sustainable management of natural resources, it requests quantified targets for ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as efforts to regenerate the natural resource base and stop species loss.
• The GEC endorses the Panel's calls for financial system reform to promote stable private foreign investment, the adoption of alternative GDP metrics by governments, and the use of integrated reporting by major companies.
• The GEC identifies several areas for further development in the agenda, including the need for a focus on green skills, material and mineral resource efficiencies, and clearer measurement of progress regarding government procurement and fossil fuel subsidy reform.
