OECD Global Forum on Environment on Eco-Innovation, Paris, France

from 04-Nov-2009 to 05-Nov-2009

Most OECD countries consider eco-innovation as an important part of the response to contemporary challenges, including climate change and energy security. In addition, many countries consider that eco-innovation could be a source of competitive advantages in the fast-growing environmental goods and services sector. A number of policy issues have emerged from an inventory of policies and programmes that OECD countries have put in place to promote eco-innovation.
