GEC Steering Group, Wednesday 11th November 2020– MINUTES

Minutes from the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) Steering Group meeting on November 11, 2020, detailing strategic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the status of four strategic priorities.

• The GEC Steering Group identified several strategic themes for attention in the wake of COVID-19, including the need to address inequality within and between nations, the lack of agency for local governments and MSMEs, and the marginal status of green solutions like Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) compared to renewables.
• The GEC aims to shift its strategy to include 'brown' economy turning points, noting that the brown economy operates in a different context than the green economy and suggests focusing on brown accountability or fossil fuel subsidies.
• The GEC identified a need for better analysis of political economy, specifically regarding the influence of the GEC and its members, the role of multilaterals in promoting green or dismantling brown economies, and the impact of corruption and kleptocracy on nature degradation and inequality.
• The GEC reported the status of four strategic priorities: 'Achieve mainstreaming economic reform' is rated as Amber due to uncertainty on how to influence global COVID recovery; 'New Social movement' is Green with a focus on legal approaches and citizen's assemblies; 'GEC Building the coalition' is Green with a pilot in Brazil; and 'New funding pipeline' is Green, with 100% of funding secured for April 2020-March 2021 and 80% for April 2021-March 2022.
