Minutes from the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) Steering Group meeting on October 12, 2017, detailing updates on European Commission (EC) policy, the development of 'Living principles' for a green economy, preparations for a global meeting in Trinidad, and a new partnership with WWF France.

• The European Commission (EC) has integrated the green economy into its EU 2030 agenda, specifically focusing on the circular economy, investment, and jobs. The EC is currently developing an external investment plan to map needs and instruments for finance, with a particular interest in access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
• The GEC developed a draft of green economy principles, transition pathways, and priority actions to create coherence among collaborating organisations. The Steering Group decided to publish these as 'Living principles' that will continue to evolve, though they noted the current version uses too much 'dense coded language' and underplays natural capital investment and sufficiency.
• Preparations for the GEC 2017 Global Meeting in Trinidad (November 1-3) include a focus on 'building green economies from the base of small business' to ensure the approach extends beyond niche organic or craft businesses. The meeting will also address recent hurricane disasters and include a 'Brown economy analysis' in the barometer.
