Green Economy Coalition Vison, goal, objectives, theory of change, strategy and work

The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) outlines its strategic framework to accelerate the transition to green, fair, and inclusive economies. The GEC positions itself as the largest global civil society alliance dedicated to ensuring that economic transformation respects environmental limits and promotes equity and inclusion.

• The GEC aims to mainstream the global green economy concept by 2020, defining it as an economy that respects environmental limits, increases stakeholder inclusion, and reduces poverty and inequality.
• The GEC's theory of change focuses on accelerating global demand for green and fair economies through three primary levers: creating a compelling story of change, stimulating collaboration across five specific policy areas, and supporting leadership at the national level.
• The coalition has identified five 'building blocks' for economic transformation: redefining success through governance and measurement (beyond GDP), reforming the finance sector to prioritize the poorest countries, promoting sustainable sectors (energy, agri-food, SMEs), integrating fairness and inclusivity into policy, and creating economic tools for nature protection.
• To shift political and media discourse away from the assumption that GDP growth is the primary driver of social and environmental protection, the GEC is developing a global advocacy campaign to create alternative narratives regarding economic transition.
• The GEC intends to mobilize national action by establishing hubs and multi-stakeholder policy processes in specific countries, including India, Senegal, Uganda, Mongolia, Peru, South Africa, and the Caribbean.
• By 2020, the GEC seeks to expand its network to 100 collaborating organisations, supported by a 10-person secretariat and a distributed delivery model where member organisations lead on specific themes based on their expertise.
