Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE)

The overall vision of is to contribute effectively to the transformation of national economic structures in developing countries with the ultimate intention to achieve environmental sustainability, decent job creation, reduced poverty, and improved human well-being. In order to achieve this overall vision, PAGE’s goal is to create an enabling environment in partner countries that is conducive for triggering green and socially equitable transformative change. Specific objectives at the national level in partner countries include: • Catalyzing the formulation and adoption of green economy policies; • Implementing green economy initiatives at the national/sectoral level; • Developing individual and institutional capacities to ensure long term sustainability; • And generating and sharing knowledge at the global level. Expected Impacts The combined achievements of these objectives will result in a strengthened ability of government and national stakeholders (decision makers, trade unionists and employers’ representatives) as ultimate beneficiaries, to design strategies for green jobs creation at national level, supporting thereby national efforts for a transition to the green economy. National stakeholders will also have a strengthened capacity to expand existing good practice policy initiatives for green jobs to other sectors/areas, seeking coherence and collective efficiencies among ministries and social partners. Achieving set objectives would generate the following results: a) Countries are enabled to formulate and adopt inclusive green economy policies; b) The capacity of national partners to finance and implement inclusive green economy policies is strengthened, including in key sectors in each participating country; c) Relevant tools and training programmes are developed and accessible globally; d) Knowledge on green economy is created and shared for country-level applications.
