UNRISD, together with the Green Economy Coalition (GEC), is proud announce the launch of a new initiative: the [Global Research and Action Network for a New Eco-Social Contract](https://www.unrisd.org/80256B3C005BCCF9/httpNetITFramePDF?ReadForm&parentunid=1089A516E14011AC8025876B00488ABB&parentdoctype=brief&netitpath=80256B3C005BCCF9/(httpAuxPages)/1089A516E14011AC8025876B00488ABB/$file/Project-Brief---Global-Eco-social-Contract-Network.pdf) in order to explore the promise of a new eco-social contract as a way of responding to pressing social and ecological challenges.

The network will be a space for dialogue, debate, co-construction and action around the meaning of a new eco-social contract; good practices for its design; and accountability frameworks for its application. It will bring together research, practice, advocacy and policy decision-making communities working for social, climate and environmental justice in a progressive knowledge and action alliance.
