Active Project

Current business-as-usual markets and financial systems are contributing to climate change, nature loss and economic inequalities. Increasingly, innovative green economy solutions are emerging.

IIED and our partners are helping to build capacity to understand and implement new approaches to sustainable markets and to enhance the involvement of women and men in poverty, those most vulnerable to climate change and those living with nature.
