The Green Economy Pocketbook
Green Economy Coalition, 2012
by: Green Economy Coalition

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 ¨C civil society, government, finance business ¨C to show how it is possible to transform our economies so that they work for people and planet¡±.
