Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE)
Antecedentes
The world is at a critical turning point: today’s dominant economic model, fueled by fossil energy, linear production and consumption, and growth at all costs is driving climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and rising inequalities. Yet momentum is growing globally behind a new vision: one that reshapes our economies around sustainability, equity, and human well-being. The transition to an inclusive green economy offers not only a way to protect our planet, but also an opportunity to address past injustices, create decent jobs, and build more resilient societies.
This e-course, Reshaping Our Economies, situates learners in this global shift, offering practical insights into how upstream economic policies, fair transition strategies, and sustainable finance can drive transformative change. Drawing on real-world examples from the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE)’s 22 partner countries, the course demonstrates how governments, financial institutions, civil society, and businesses can align economic, social, and environmental goals in practice.
Objetivos del aprendizaje
What will you learn?
The overall goal of the course is to show how changes in upstream policy-making (including trade, fiscal, industrial and employment policies) have the potential to shift the whole of the economy towards a green and inclusive transformation.
Upon completion of the self-paced e-course, learners will be able to:
- Explain why upstream economic policies are key levers for achieving sustainable development.
- Identify enabling conditions and specific policy entry points for advancing green, circular, and job-rich economies.
- Outline tools and policies that can help unlock and redirect public and private finance.
- Discuss the social impacts of a green economic transformation and approaches for mitigating negative effects on vulnerable groups.
- Give examples from different countries of how the transition looks like in practice.
