A SYNTHESIS In May 2014, ministers and representatives of OECD member countries and the European Union gathered at the Ministerial Council Meeting invited the OECD to work with the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Transport Forum (ITF) “to continue to support the UNFCCC [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change] negotiations and to examine how to better align policies across different areas for a successful economic transition of all countries to sustainable low-carbon and climate-resilient economies and report to the 2015 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting.” The report "Aligning Policies for a Low-Carbon Economy" responds to that request by identifying where existing policy and regulatory frameworks are at odds with climate policy, i.e. where existing policies may make climate policy less effective than it could be otherwise. This is a synthesis of the four organisations’ initial diagnosis of where and how existing policy and regulatory frameworks may not be aligned with a low-carbon economy. The synthesis is available in English, in French, in German and in Chinese. |
