The Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) is a 7-year programme set to assist progressively a total of 30 countries in their efforts to transition to environmentally viable and socially inclusive economies. It was officially inaugurated in March 2014, at its first Global conference held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
PAGE seeks to create enabling conditions in participating countries by: identifying critical bottlenecks, assessing investment options and formulating policies to encourage the creation of a new generation of assets such as clean technologies, resource-efficient infrastructure, well-functioning ecosystems, green skilled labour, job-rich growth, and good governance.
Since its inception PAGE has started working with Burkina Faso, Mauritius, Mongolia, Peru, and Senegal. In each of these countries, stakeholder workshops and initial stock taking exercises inform a country-specific approach, reflecting the policy priorities and on-going initiatives to which PAGE can provide value added and make a strategic contribution.
The Academy targets a diverse group of participants including:
This first global Academy on the Green Economy offers a unique opportunity for training and global knowledge-sharing to help actively promote socially inclusive green economies.
The Rio+20 Declaration "The Future We Want" recognized a green economy as a vehicle for achieving sustainable development and poverty eradication. It called on the United Nations to support interested countries in developing greener and more inclusive economies.
In response to this call for action, UNEP, ILO, UNIDO, UNITAR and UNDP initiated the Partnership for Action on a Green Economy, or PAGE, as a voluntary and demand-driven mechanism of support to meet the increasing requests from countries seeking to develop and implement inclusive green economy strategies.
The PAGE capacity building strategy seeks to strengthen the knowledge and skills of national policymakers, technical staff, practitioners and other public and private sector stakeholders, to actively promote environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive economies through policy and strategy development. The Academy on the Green Economy precisely seeks to strengthen the knowledge and skills of current and potential PAGE countries.
The Academy will include:
