Principles for the Green Economy: A Collection of Principles for the Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication

This publication aims to develop a set of green economy principles based on some of the most prominent existing principles relating to sustainable development and the green economy from the existing literature. Fifteen principles are identified that represent a consolidation of existing international agreements and more radical and forward‐thinking proposals, cutting across The Stockholm Declaration, the Rio Declaration, The Johannesburg Declaration, The Earth Charter, The One Planet Living Principles, The Green Economy Coalition, the TUC ‘Just Transition’ principles, and The New Economics Foundation.
