Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE)

What Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) does

Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) is a United Nations inter-agency partnership launched in 2013 that supports 23 partner countries in transforming their economies toward inclusive green economy, circular economy, and just transition outcomes. PAGE is governed by a Steering Committee, Management Board, Technical Team, and Secretariat, with the Secretariat housed at UNEP's Geneva office at 15 Chemin des Anémones, Châtelaine. The partnership is implemented through five UN agencies — UNEP, ILO, UNDP, UNIDO, and UNITAR — each contributing domain expertise on environment, employment, development, industrial policy, and capacity training respectively. PAGE works upstream at the policy level rather than at project level, providing integrated technical assistance, macroeconomic modeling tools, and capacity building to national governments that apply through a criteria-based selection process.

PAGE's core technology stack consists of proprietary macroeconomic modeling tools and frameworks, including the Just Transition Assessment Model (JTAM, developed by ILO with University of Rwanda and SINTEF), the Brazil Multisectoral Macroeconomic Model (with Ministry of Finance and IE-UFRJ), the Inclusive Green Economy Modelling Tool, and the Green Economy Indicators Framework. These tools integrate climate, energy, economic, labor market, and social indicators to forecast policy trade-offs across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The portfolio also includes the Green Economy Toolkit for Policymakers (Country Starter Kit), the Green Industrial Policy Trilogy, the Green Jobs Assessment Guidebook, the Reshaping Our Economies e-learning course, a Higher Education Course on Inclusive Green Economy Modelling, and the PAGE Knowledge Hub containing 650+ resources. The combination of these assets produced 292 assessments and analytical studies, supported 133 policies, partnered with 397 national institutions and ministries, and reached 131,000+ learners globally.

PAGE's revenue model is grant-based, funded through the United Nations Multi-Partner Trust Fund administered by the MPTF Office in New York. Cumulative contributions from 2013 to 2025 total approximately $113.1M, led by Germany ($29.66M), the European Union ($29.43M), Norway ($11.57M), the Republic of Korea ($10.8M), Sweden ($8.49M), Finland ($3.85M), and Switzerland ($3.15M), plus approximately $14.65M in in-kind contributions from PAGE partners. Services are delivered at no direct cost to partner governments. Distribution is through direct government engagement, the UN Resident Coordinator network, and regional platforms (such as the PAGE Regional Academy for Africa in Morocco), supported by the five UN agencies' combined country presence. PAGE is not a commercial entity and does not generate revenue through pricing or licensing.
