A/RES/66/288
66. Recognizing the importance of linking financing, technology, capacitybuilding and national needs for sustainable development policies, including green
economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, we
invite the United Nations system, in cooperation with relevant donors and
international organizations, to coordinate and provide information upon request on:
(a) Matching interested countries with the partners that are best suited to
provide requested support;
(b) Toolboxes and/or best practices in applying policies on green economy in
the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication at all levels;
(c) Models or good examples of policies on green economy in the context of
sustainable development and poverty eradication;
(d) Methodologies for evaluation of policies on green economy in the
context of sustainable development and poverty eradication;
(e)
Existing and emerging platforms that contribute in this regard.
67. We underscore the importance of governments taking a leadership role in
developing policies and strategies through an inclusive and transparent process. We
also take note of the efforts of those countries, including developing countries, that
have already initiated processes to prepare national green economy strategies and
policies in support of sustainable development.
68. We invite relevant stakeholders, including the United Nations regional
commissions, United Nations organizations and bodies, other relevant
intergovernmental and regional organizations, international financial institutions and
major groups involved in sustainable development, according to their respective
mandates, to support developing countries, upon request, to achieve sustainable
development, including through, inter alia, green economy policies in the context of
sustainable development and poverty eradication, in particular in least developed
countries.
69. We also invite business and industry as appropriate and in accordance with
national legislation to contribute to sustainable development and to develop
sustainability strategies that integrate, inter alia, green economy policies.
70. We acknowledge the role of cooperatives and microenterprises in contributing
to social inclusion and poverty reduction, in particular in developing countries.
71. We encourage existing and new partnerships, including public-private
partnerships, to mobilize public financing complemented by the private sector,
taking into account the interests of local and indigenous communities when
appropriate. In this regard, governments should support initiatives for sustainable
development, including promoting the contribution of the private sector to support
green economy policies in the context of sustainable development and poverty
eradication.
72. We recognize the critical role of technology as well as the importance of
promoting innovation, in particular in developing countries. We invite governments,
as appropriate, to create enabling frameworks that foster environmentally sound
technology, research and development, and innovation, including in support of green
economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.
73. We emphasize the importance of technology transfer to developing countries,
and recall the provisions on technology transfer, finance, access to information and
intellectual property rights, as agreed in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation,
