Uniting UN’s Economic Expertise
Table of Contents
Leveraging the UN system
PAGE, a ONE UN pioneer, is at the forefront strengthening collaboration and impact across the UN System.
With the aim to shift finance and investment for a fair, circular and green economic transformation, PAGE emphasizes macroeconomic and upstream policy entry points, focusing on three essential elements for an inclusive green economic transformation: green jobs and just transition, circularity and sustainable finance.
Central to PAGE’s approach is the collaboration with UN Resident Coordinator Offices (UNRCOs) that are placed at the center of a coordinated UN System response to advance countries’ green economy pathways.
Over the past years, PAGE has built a partnership with United National Development Coordination Office (UN DCO) to foster dialogue, strengthen capacities and facilitate exchange and peer-learning among countries and their respective UNCROs for greater uptake and better design of green, circular and just transition policies and related finance mechanisms.
Leveraging the economic expertise of the UN System, PAGE and UN DCO offer targeted trainings and thematic dialogues that highlight key elements of green transitions and related tools and policy options.
PAGE contributed with several inputs to the development of the National Green Jobs Programme that was launched in 2023. [...] There is no doubt that PAGE has played a key role in advancing the circular economy agenda in Argentina.
Targeted trainings
PAGE and UNDCO provide moderated in-depth online trainings on green economic transformation for PAGE and non-PAGE partner countries, targeting government officials (Ministries of Economy, Finance, Labour and Development Planning), representatives of national think tanks and academic institutions, as well as RCO Economists. The RCO Economists play a critical role in identifying country-demand, coordinate with national stakeholders and facilitate learning on site.
Thematic dialogues
PAGE and UN DCO organize the dialogue series “One UN for Accelerating a Fair and Green Economic Transformation” targeted primarily UNRCO Economists. These thematic webinars bring together subject matter experts and UNRCOs into a dialogue on key aspects of green economic transitions providing space to learn, share experiences, and identify opportunities for collaboration.
