State Members
The World Green Economy Organization (WGEO) is a comprehensive response to calls by the international community for a holistic approach to spur progress on how and why a green economy is the world’s best route towards a safe and prosperous future.
Overview
WGEO emerged in response to the priorities and concerns identified from Rio+20 in 2012 to the recent passage of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Climate Change Agreement that has seen strong levels of commitment by world leaders to support emerging global actions towards a low carbon climate resilient economy.
The purpose of WGEO is to provide systematic and holistic catalytic support to the promotion of the green economy.
