This publication was prepared as an input into the UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012 by the Green Economy Coalition. It sets out the Coalition’s vision for change, drawing lessons from their series of national dialogues in developing and developed countries and from across the Coalition’s diverse membership. The pocketbook describes examples, stories and glimpses of a transition that is already underway. Quoting the Coalition the publication is “the most succinct but comprehensive understanding of a green economy drawn from a global and multi‐stakeholder perspective. It connects the dots between the many different actions going on at all levels – civil society, government, finance business – to show how it is possible to transform our economies so that they work for people and planet”. The summary was prepared by UNDESA.
