Partnership for Action on Green Economy PAGE

Description What is done in the programme or project and why, what results are pursued, who benefits from the activities and who are involved in the implementation.

This partnership project by four UN agencies - UNEP, UNITAR, UNIDO and ILO - aims at helping 30 countries over 7 years to achieve equitable and sustainable transformation of national economic structures. This transformation will make economic activities – consumption and production at the macroeconomic level – not only generate equitably shared income and quality jobs for women and men, but also contribute to environmental improvement and poverty eradication. The key to this transformation is shifting investment and policies towards the creation of a new generation of assets: clean technologies, energy and resource efficient infrastructure, well-functioning ecosystems, a skilled labour force with green jobs driven by strong institutions and good governance.
