Feature: Join the GGKP for the launch of the OECD's new tracking green growth report
|
|
Four years after the publication of their Green Growth Strategy, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is launching a new report which tracks progress towards green growth, draws lessons from country experiences and examines how to enhance policy design to deliver green growth.
Join the GGKP and the OECD for a webinar on 27 July, from 15:00-16:30 (Paris time) as we officially launch the report "Towards Green Growth? Tracking progress". The webinar will feature Catherine Mann and Nathalie Girouard from the OECD, Kevin Urama from Quantum Global Research Lab, and will be moderated by Carlo Carraro, Co-Chair of the GGKP's Advisory Committee. Panelists will explore progress made to date, highlight opportunities for more effective and ambitious policy, draw lessons from green growth mainstreaming across the OECD's work programme and consider ways to enrich the OECD's Green Growth Strategy.

Opportunities in clean energy industrial investments
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) have collaborated to produce a two volume set on "Global Green Growth: Clean Energy Industrial Investments and Expanding Job Opportunities". Volume I provides overall findings from the project including the employment generation opportunities of measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Volume II of the report covers experiences from Brazil, Germany, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea and South Africa.

Green jobs are a key economic driver
The International Labour Organization (ILO) has published the book "Decent Work, Green Jobs and the Sustainable Economy" which highlights solutions that the world of work offers for policy and practice to tackle climate change, achieve environmental sustainability and build prosperous and cohesive societies. This book demonstrates that green jobs can be a key economic driver, as the world steps into the largely uncharted territory of building a sustainable and low-carbon global economy.

Aligning climate change policies and regulatory frameworks
The report "Aligning Policies for a Low-carbon Economy" produced by the OECD, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Transport Forum (ITF) and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) explores the misalignments between climate change objectives and policy and regulatory frameworks across a range of policy domains (investment, taxation, innovation and skills, trade, and adaptation) and activities at the heart of climate policy (electricity, urban mobility and rural land use). Outside of countries' core climate policies, regulatory frameworks have been built around the availability of fossil fuels, without regard for the greenhouse gas emissions implications. This report makes a diagnosis of these contradictions and points to means of solving them to support a more effective transition to a low-carbon economy.

Impacts of climate change on agri-food trade in developing countries
The report from the International Trade Centre (ITC) presents the findings of research on the climate change perceptions of agri-food exporters. It provides direct insight into the perceived needs of business and exporters in responding to climate change impacts in Uganda and Peru. Part 1 on Uganda shares the perceptions of agri-food exporters in key export sectors including coffee, tea, cocoa, cotton, fruits and spices. Part 2, on Peru, shares the perceptions of agri-food exporters in the coffee and cocoa sectors.

Partnerships for better growth and better climate
The report, "Seizing the global opportunity partnerships for better growth and a better climate", from the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, provides 10 practical recommendations that will boost economic growth and reduce climate risk. These recommendations could deliver up to 96% of the emissions reductions required by 2030 to keep global warming under 2 degrees Celsius.
