Measure What Matters

On 25 September 2015, PAGE (Partnership for Action on Green Economy) will be supporting a UNEP, the Government of Germany, and UNDP co-hosted high-level panel discussion at the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in New York entitled:
Powered by inclusive and sustainable growth: Why and how we decided to alter course?

  3. Ensuring equitable benefits for all from transition to greener and more inclusive economies,
  4. Strengthening advisory mechanisms, networks and partnerships, such as the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) and the Poverty-Environment Initiative (PEI), among others, that can support countries in reframing economic policies and practices around sustainability.
