New publication on how to align climate and economic planning

The guide, Aligning Climate and Economic Planning: A guide for integrating macroeconomic and financial dimensions, provides a practical framework for integrating macroeconomic and financial considerations into the national climate policy cycle. It outlines a step-by-step approach covering mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage that countries can adapt to their own planning contexts. 

It supports the development and implementation of key climate policy instruments, including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Long-Term Low-Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) and green growth strategies, while helping align climate goals with economic and fiscal planning. 

The guide is intended for government officials, sectoral experts, technical specialists, and development partners involved in climate policy design, financing, and implementation.

New publication on Just Transition and Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) 

GGGI´s insight brief, “Just Transitions in LT-LEDS: A Review of G20 Submissions,” analyzes how G20 countries are planning their long-term climate strategies in a fair and inclusive manner. 

While most strategies acknowledge just transition principles—such as workforce development, innovation, and inclusive governance—the review uncovers critical gaps: long-term climate policy largely lacks specificity on who will be affected, clear timelines for phasing out carbon-intensive activities, detailed financing strategies for climate transitions, and robust monitoring mechanisms. This oversight risks leaving vulnerable communities behind and slowing the global shift to net-zero. The report calls for future strategies to prioritize actionable roadmaps, targeted social support, and transparent investment plans to ensure the clean energy transition is both fast and fair for all.

New resource on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in Article 6 Carbon Markets

How can carbon markets help deliver not only stronger climate mitigation but also more equitable and inclusive outcomes?

This explainer produced by the Global Green Growth Institute provides a high-level overview of how carbon finance under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can support climate ambition while advancing gender equality and social inclusion (GESI). It highlights key considerations for designing carbon market approaches that ensure benefits are shared more fairly and that diverse stakeholders, particularly women and marginalized groups, are meaningfully included.

As the global economy faces inflation, supply chain disruptions, and rising inequality, climate ambition is under pressure. 

A green economy is one that delivers growth and prosperity while reducing environmental risks and ensuring social inclusion.

According to the World Economic Forum, 37% of businesses cite high energy and commodity costs as a barrier to competitive green models, while over half worry about affordability for consumers.

Making the Green Transition Work for People and the Economy shows how aligning climate action with economic and social realities is key to sustaining momentum—grounded in business sentiment, global trends, and practical insights for managing socioeconomic risks and opportunities.

Hello!

I just joined the forum and wanted to share what my company, Grebe Innovations, has been working on. I'm currently trying to find a manufacturer for my product concept, Warm Wall. This is an energy efficient device (~100 watts) that helps you stay warm and cozy in bed without using hi-power devices like space heaters or electric blankets. It does this by addressing the problem in a unique, direct way.

I'm proud to announce that this new product concept has been selected by the Green Product Award panel of judges as a finalist for their 2026 competition.

Please visit the page to learn more and support the idea by voting.

Thank you!

#PAGE and the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action cohosted #ProsperityThroughResilience at #UNEA7 bringing together leaders from Brazil🇧🇷, Germany🇩🇪, Uganda🇺🇬, Indonesia🇮🇩, and global institutions to rethink how public finance can respond to climate risks, mobilize investment, strengthen competitiveness, and support inclusive growth. 

➡️The conversation underscored a shared understanding: resilience is now a driver of prosperity, and aligning fiscal governance with climate, nature, and economic priorities is essential for the future.

✅As an outcome of this dialogue, the Joint PAGE–CFMCA Co-Chair’s Action Note for UNEA-7 captures a shared aspiration emerging from the #FFD4 engagements: strengthening the fiscal foundations, institutional capacities, and investment pathways that make economies more resilient, competitive, and inclusive.
