  • The GEC Steering Group downgraded the status of all four strategic priorities to 'Amber' due to the COVID-19 crisis, noting that the pandemic requires a 'collective ramping up' to achieve transformative recovery policy and engagement with social movements.
  • The 'Economics for Nature' programme, a six-year initiative funded by MAVA and involving partners such as WWF France and Capitals Coalition, aims to integrate natural capital into national green economy adoptions. Key achievements include the creation of the Green Economy Tracker and the 'Natural Capital for Governments – What, Why and How' guide developed with 13 governments.
  • The EC dialogues programme, funded by the EC, has transitioned into a second phase focusing on stimulating inclusive green economy action by improving finance flows for small green enterprises. The programme has established hubs in India, Mongolia, Uganda, South Africa, Senegal, the Caribbean, and Peru.
  • The Steering Group unanimously decided that the GEC must launch a COVID-19 campaign to facilitate national action and influence global processes such as the G7, G20, CBD, and COP. The group emphasized that the campaign should focus on structural economic reforms and the delivery of jobs and livelihoods.
  • COVID-19 had mixed operational impacts on GEC partners: while some hubs, particularly the new Brazil hub, struggled due to a lack of equipment for homeworking, other initiatives like the Africa Forum benefited from forced innovation in online working, which increased stakeholder inclusivity.
