10 -YEAR STRATEGY 2020 – 2030

The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) has outlined a 10-year strategy (2020–2030) to catalyze systemic economic reform toward green and fair economies. The plan focuses on shifting social narratives, building public demand, and influencing policy across five key themes: governance, finance, economic sectors, inequality, and nature.

• The Green Economy Coalition identifies five systemic flaws in current economic models: the use of outdated metrics like GDP and corporate profits, financial and political short-termism, a reliance on overconsumption, the failure of 'trickle-down' economics to distribute wealth, and 'economic blind spots' that ignore the value of natural and social assets.
• To address these flaws, the GEC proposes a new economic model based on five key interventions: reforming measurement and governance beyond GDP, restructuring financial systems to end short-termism, greening sectors like food and energy, tackling inequality through a just transition, and valuing nature's services in decision-making.
• The GEC's 10-year strategy is built on two primary objectives: amplifying social demand for systemic reform to pressure governments and institutions by 2030, and inspiring the supply of policies and institutions that guide green transformation.
• The coalition will execute its strategy through four pathways: telling new stories to challenge norms, building critical mass through citizen-led dialogues, influencing policy by equipping networks to hold decision-makers accountable, and evolving into a decentralized 'network of networks'.
• The GEC has established a presence in several emerging economies through green economy hubs in India, Mongolia, Peru, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, and the Caribbean region, and aims to expand to 25 low and middle-income country hubs.
• The GEC has developed two primary tools for monitoring the transition: the Global Green Economy Barometer, which reviews trends across five policy themes, and the Green Economy Tracker, launched in 2020 to benchmark government progress via 20 key policies.
