Transforming our economies and societies to achieve climate stability, harmony with nature and a pollution-free planet.
Through finance and economic transformations, UNEP aims at scaling up policies and actions that enable just transitions to circular and resilient economies and societies.
This requires injecting sustainability into the heart of economic, finance, legal and regulatory frameworks, based on national and regional priorities and circumstances, and unlocking public and private finance to drive investments for sustainable solutions.
Our goals:
→ Accelerating circularity and sustainable consumption and production (SCP) policies and initiatives.
→ Catalysing private investments in SCP and circularity in high impact sectors.
→ Unleashing the power of the public budgets and fiscal policies to leverage private-sector financing and investment.
→ Driving change with science and knowledge, including supporting new metrics to inform environmental, economic and financial decisions and guide policymaking.
The work of UNEP on Finance and Economic Transformations is carried out through public-private partnerships, often involving partners and networks.
