Presentation Transcript

Slide1

The Green Economy Progress (GEP) Measurement Framework

Fulai Sheng

Senior Economist

UN Environment

Slide2

The Green Economy Narrative

An Inclusive Green Economy (IGE):

too

l for sustainable development; response to 3 challenges: poverty, inequitable sharing of prosperity, and overstepped planetary boundaries.IGE contributes to poverty eradication and shared prosperity by safeguarding planetary boundaries: climate, freshwater, ocean, and land covered by SDGs.Need for an integrated and inclusive policymaking approach at the levels of policy goals and targets, policy choices, policy impacts, and policy participation by stakeholders.

Slide3

The GEP Measurement Framework

GEP index:

track

progress relative to desired changes, impacting current well-being weighted progress by countries on targets within thresholds across several indicators

Indicates a country’s overall progress towards IGE

Dashboard:

monitors the

sustainability of well-being for future generations tracks main forms of natural capital & stocks of other capital that affects long term sustainability GEP+ ranking: comparing dashboard indicators with GEP index.

Slide4

Indicators

GEP index: 13 indicators

Related to Green Industry: g

reen trade, green patents, material footprint, energy use, renewable energyDashboard: 6 indicatorsSelection criteria

Mapping with IGE narrative

Data coverage (country and time)

Transparency and comparability (data accessibility)

Linkages with SDGs’ headline indicators (14 direct links to 10 of the 17 SDGs)

Slide5

GEP indexMeasure IGE progress based on 3 ideas:

Identifying key IGE dimensions

, each approximated by one or several variables;

Focusing on progress, i.e. changes rather than levels;

Measuring progress relative to targets & thresholds.

Targets

refer to desired changes, whereas

thresholds define some critical levels;Weight 1 gives information at the indicator level with respect to the critical threshold, while weight 2 gives information about priorities across indicators.

Slide6

Final Remarks

In 2014, 83 out of 105 countries (79%) progressed on IGE compared to 2004

Remaining challenges: increasing material footprint & overstepped planetary boundaries

Dashboard: on average countries are making regress in sustainability indicatorsGEP+: 17 out of 100 countries were able to make progress in dashboard & GEP indexMethodology: flexible (e.g. green industry)
