The Green Economy Coalition's 2016 Global Meeting will take place on 26 - 27 July in the City of London.
Focused on ‘The state of the global transition’, this meeting will be the largest gathering of civil society and researchers working on a green economy from around the world.
With over 60 green economy national plans now in place and business action scaling up, now is a critical moment for our global network to come together. GEC members have unrivalled expertise on the transformation to green economies - on how to make it fair and inclusive, on how to build economies that protect nature and on how to mobilise for change. In this year’s sessions GEC will be consolidating that knowledge, co-creating a narrative and planning their next strategic steps together.
Day 1 (26 July) will focus on the following outcomes:
1. Sharpening the political narratives for green economy: The politics of transition is as important as the economics. GEC will be drawing on expertise from within and beyond the network in order to strengthen the political case for change in different contexts and countries.
2. Accelerating the global transition: Planning for the next three years, GEC will:
- Take stock of the status of the global green economy transition
- Profile new green economy research, activities and policies
- Improve and scale up our collective interventions as a network
Space is limited, so interested participants should register here. More information can be found at: http://www.greeneconomycoalition.org/updates/event-2016-gec-global-meeting
