PAGE aims to contribute to the transformation of national economic structures in developing countries with the ultimate intention to achieve environmental sustainability, decent job creation, reduced poverty, and improved human well-being. PAGE is designed as a multi-year initiative that initially will deploy the expertise of its key partners to progressively assist 30 countries across regions in their efforts to embark on Green Economy pathways. It will be a vehicle to scale up on-going efforts of UNEP´s Green Economy Advisory Services as well as related efforts of partner organizations.
Under this vision, the goal of PAGE is to support the establishment of enabling conditions for national inclusive green economies in each participating country including through providing policy analysis and support in the development of strategies and policies for national inclusive green economies and through the identification of financial and investment needs. The strategies and set of policy packages identified in each country are based on the assessment of this impact on poverty reduction and the overall human well-being, the reduction of environment risks and the ability of the economy to grow sustainably with low carbon and resource efficiency.
