The Partnership on Action for Green Economy(PAGE)

Focused on reframing macroeconomic policies, PAGE work in partner countries seeks to align economies with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by increasing human prosperity, creating green and decent jobs, including for youth and women, reducing inequalities, and strengthening the ecological foundations of economies. This includes support to countries for ‘building forward better’ from COVID-19, as a green and inclusive economic recovery can be a stepping-stone towards a broader green economy transformation that drives positive action for climate and nature, counteracting future pandemics.

To help drive economic transformation and long-term sustainability in partner countries, PAGE:

Brings together the economic expertise of the UN system (economists from UN Resident Coordinator Offices, PAGE agencies, UN Regional Economic Commissions, and the Office of the UN Chief Economist), the Government and the research community to jointly design a pathway for transitioning to a green and inclusive economy,
Contributes to and draws on the expertise of relevant government ministries, in particular the counterpart ministries of the five PAGE agencies which are key in addressing the Triple Planetary Crisis of climate, nature and pollution, including Ministries of Environment, Labour, Energy, Transport, Industry etc., along with Ministries of Economy, Finance and Development Planning that drive macroeconomic reform. PAGE also works closely with private sector actors, workers’ unions and civil society, including labour, youth and women associations.
