The Green Economy Joint Programme is a collaboration between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) to support governments and stakeholders in their post-Rio+20 efforts to green economies through more integrated development approaches that help ensure social progress, inclusive growth, and environmental sustainability.
The Joint Programme works at the global, regional, and national levels to: 1) enhance political engagement and mobilize public support for the Rio+20 Conference and post-Rio implementation; 2) improve advisory services on policies, tools and measures to help green economies as a means towards poverty reduction and sustainable development; and 3) promote integration of green economy themes as a key element of UN Country Team programming.
