Global Congress on Green Economy

The Global Congress on Green Economy is organized by the World Green Economy Organization in close cooperation with the United Nations and in partnership with a number of key stakeholders. The Global Congress on Green Economy will bring together high-level representatives from governments, international organizations, including IFIs, foundations, as well as relevant private sector players and civil society actors from around the globe.
