The Annex I Expert Group is an ad hoc group of government officials from Environment, Energy and Foreign Affairs ministries from countries that are listed in Annex I to the United Nations Framework Convention Climate Change, and those that have acceded to Annex I commitments. Annex I countries include most OECD member states and some countries from central and eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States that are undergoing the process of transition to a market economy (EITs).
The OECD and IEA carry out analytical work for this Group to support 1) Annex I countries in the UNFCCC negotiations, and 2) national climate change policy development. For more information on the nature and purpose of the Group, click here: AIXG flyer. Bookmark this page: www.oecd.org/env/cc/aixg
