Summary
Minutes from the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) Steering Group meeting on February 28, 2024, detailing the draft 2024 Annual Workplan, the development of an Economic Systems Change Map, and plans to refresh the Steering Group's composition.
Key insights
- The GEC's draft 2024 Annual Workplan focuses on building societal demand for transformative policy through an active network and a transition narrative. Two primary interventions are based on the GEC's 10-year strategy ("Economic Reform in a Generation"): a 'Shared Global Green Deal' aimed at creating a nature-positive, wellbeing-oriented global policy architecture linked to the G20 and Bridgetown Initiative, and an 'Eco-social Contract' to promote citizen engagement and address structural inequalities.
- Top priorities for 2024 include refreshing and expanding the coalition, securing funding for GEC hubs and the social contract programme, and developing three Communities of Practice focused on women, youth, and small businesses. The GEC also aims to develop a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) plan and collaborate with UNRISD and the Global Research and Action Network (GRAN) on eco-social contract processes.
- The GEC Secretariat is developing an Economic Systems Change Map to assist with advocacy, map priorities, and define policy debates. Key focus areas of this map include the reform of the global financial system, Green Deals, Just Transition, tackling inequalities, the circular economy, sustainable consumption and production (SCP), and local value chains.
- The GEC has identified several key international events in 2024 as opportunities for collaboration, most notably the Summit of the Future in New York (September 2024), which is viewed as a priority and a precursor to the 2025 World Social Summit. Other events include the World Circular Economy Forum in Brussels (April 2024), the Financing for Development Forum in New York (April 2024), the G20/T20 Summit in Brazil (November 2024), and COP29 in Azerbaijan (November 2024).
- The GEC intends to refresh its Steering Group to increase representation from hubs, include more specialisations and locations, and find a new main funder to replace the MAVA Foundation. There is also a specific goal to recruit private-sector champions to help integrate industry-led stewardship.
