The Green Economy Coalition (GEC) is holding its 2016 Global Meeting on "The state of the global transition" on 26th and 27th July in the City of London. Register your place now!

26th July - Day 1, Global Meeting (Public & GEC Members)

27th July - Day 2, Coalition Strategy Day (GEC Members only)

The two day 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 we will be consolidating that knowledge, co-creating our narrative and planning our next strategic steps together.

Day 1 (26th 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. We 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, we 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

The transition is underway because of the work and commitment of green economy actors across the globe, so in this year’s meeting we want to profile these researchers, experiences and networks.

Day 2 (27th July) is our GEC internal strategy day and is open to GEC members only - for more information on the second day of the meeting please get in touch with the GEC team.

Space is limited so please do register to attend so that we can speak, shape and act together to propel green economy from the fringe and into the mainstream.

We look forward to welcoming you in July.
