Every year, the Green Economy Coalition publishes the Green Economy Barometer, an analysis of the state of the global movement towards a fair, sustainable future. The Barometer tracks the transition, both celebrating the successes, and calling attention to challenges yet to be overcome. It contains key stats, facts, and highlights from the year 2017, and it casts an eye ahead to what the next twelve months have in store.
