The Green Economy Progress Measurement Framework

This publication presents an update to the application of the Green Economy Progress Measurement Framework (GEP) methodology at the global level with the latest data available. In addition, it introduces carbon, water stress, and land-use related biodiversity loss footprints to the GEP measurement  framework, in particular to the dashboard of sustainability indicators. This is a critical addition to the measurement framework because a large share of today's goods and services are produced by complex global value chains. This addition brings important considerations to the analysis. However, it also requires important modifications to the GEP Measurement Framework to incorporate them. The present publication presents a sensible way on how these type of indicators can be incorporated, and how they can add valuable information to the framework.
