Minutes from the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) Steering Group meeting on January 20, 2017, detailing the 2017 strategic plan, the launch of a large-scale Natural Capital programme funded by the MAVA Foundation, and goals for network growth and institutional restructuring.

• The GEC's network vision for 2020 includes mainstreaming the global green economy concept to reduce poverty and inequality, influencing global institutions on five policy areas (economic performance measures, finance sector development, SME sector transitions, economic democracy/fairness, and natural world policy), and growing the network to 100 collaborating organisations with a 10-person secretariat.
• The GEC identified five active policy areas for 2017: 'Measure What Matters phase II' (partnering with IIRC and ICAEW with ~£100k pa); 'Finance reform' (led by Finance Watch with ~£400k pa); 'Greening sectors' (focusing on SME networks and informality); 'Green Must Be Fair' (led by CAFOD with a £1m pa funding target); and the 'Economics for Nature' (Natural capital) programme.
• The GEC is implementing national dialogues, which began in March 2016 in South Africa, India, and the Caribbean, and are expanding to Mongolia, Peru, Senegal, and Uganda, with funding of Euro 3.5m from the European Commission (EC) and MAVA.
• The MAVA Foundation is funding a six-year Natural Capital programme coordinated by the GEC Secretariat, consisting of four strategies: demonstrating the value of Natural Capital transitions, connecting Natural Capital and Green Economy communities (partnered with Scottish Wildlife Trust), improving valuation and policy advice (partnered with Green Growth Knowledge Platform), and increasing investment (partnered with Finance Watch).
• The Steering Group decided to invite the MAVA Foundation to join the GEC Steering Group and approved the admission of the Equality Trust as a new member to support the 'Green Must Be Fair' programme.
• The GEC plans to launch a new website in late March or early April 2017 to serve as a 'beacon of hope' and improve navigation for policy, business, and NGO audiences.
