PAGE in brief

The United Nations Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) puts sustainability at the heart of global economic policymaking for a shift in finance and investment towards a just, circular, and green economic transformation.

The partnership brings together  five United Nations agencies; UNEP, UNDP, ILO, UNIDO, and UNITAR, whose expertise and support assist and lead partner countries towards their transition to an Inclusive Green Economy (IGE) by providing policy advice, assessments, capacity building and analytical tools outputs.

PAGE is a demand-driven initiative, well-positioned to respond to the specific needs and priorities of countries. By directly linking to national planning frameworks, PAGE facilitates the integration of green and circular economy principles through evidence-based analysis and policy advice.

Thanks to this integrated approach and support of a wide range of partners, PAGE is increasingly recognized as a model to deliver coordinated support of UN to countries for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets of the Paris Agreement.

PAGE was launched in 2013 as a response to the call at Rio+20 to support countries addressing one of the greatest challenges of our time: building economies that improve human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.
