GEC Steering Group, Wednesday, 13th September 2023– MINUTES

The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) Steering Group minutes from September 2023 outline a new strategic phase (2023-2027) focused on 'eco-social contracts' and a shared global green deal. Key activities include a partnership with UNRISD to build a 350+ member network and efforts to influence G20 processes in Brazil. The group noted urgent funding needs for its hubs, particularly the Amazon hub, and is planning to diversify its Steering Group membership.

• The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) has entered a new phase for 2023-2027 with a strategy titled "Renegotiating new social contracts for a shared global green deal," which was approved by the Steering Group in March 2023.
• The GEC has defined two primary policy objectives: establishing 'Eco-social contract processes' (citizen dialogues) as a requirement for green economy transition planning, and initiating a new global green economy policy architecture debate and action.
• The GEC is pursuing a global green economy policy architecture through three main strands: global efforts (including a Shared Global green deal and International Financial architecture 'Beyond Bretton Woods'), national policy (updating the tracker), and movements/moments (such as the G20 processes in Brazil and a high ambition coalition).
• The GEC is collaborating with UNRISD on a research and action network for eco-social contracts, which currently consists of more than 350 members and eight active working groups.
• The GEC is working with the Club of Madrid and UNRISD on a research programme titled 'eco-social contract for economic transformation,' which is intended for discussion in Brazil in November to influence G20 processes.
• The GEC identifies a critical funding gap for its hubs, specifically noting that EC phase 3 does not provide hub funding and that funding for the Amazon hub is urgently required.
• The Steering Group is planning to evolve its composition to improve diversity and explore the 'ambassadorial' role of its members in promoting GEC work within their own institutions.
