An adverse outcome pathway (AOP) is the sequence of events from the structure of a target chemical through the molecular initiating event to an in vivo adverse outcome. This document describes the state of knowledge of the AOP for skin sensitisation initiated by covalent binding to proteins, assesses the weight-of-evidence supporting the AOP, identifies the key events and databases containing test results related to those key events [Part I]. AOPs can be incorporated into chemical categories-based assessments or integrated approaches for testing and assessment [Part II].

The document, GLobal Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, Proposal for a Harmonised List of Pollutants, is now available online. This document identifies general pollutant classes, proposes unique identifiers for pollutants and identifies common substances across different national/regional Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs).

Technological innovation is essential for tackling climate change, but technologies for adapting to its effects have thus far received little attention. This paper presents a first-ever case study of innovation in crop biotechnology, using patent application data for three key environmental stresses: drought, soil salinity and temperature extremes. The study finds, for example, that the number of such patents submitted globally increased twentyfold, from 10 per year in 1995 to 200 in 2007. It also exists in French translation.

The new OECD report “Greenhouse gas emissions and the potential for mitigation from materials management within OECD countries” provides support to governments in showing the importance of using a life-cycle approach to analyse GHG mitigation options from materials management. Further, the literature suggests that substantial emission reductions can be achieved at low or zero costs.

The OECD Environmental Risk Assessment Toolkit describes the work flow for environmental risk assessment and management of chemicals with links to available OECD material relevant for the different steps in risk assessment and management. The Toolkit has been revised 1) to include resources other than OECD products, and 2) to incorporate three examples (i.e. textile dye, pesticide and environmental quality standard setting) which show the risk assessment steps involved in each case.

Dichloromethane (CAS. 75-09-2) and Carbon tetrachloride (CAS.56-23-5) were registered under REACH. The registrants, in collaboration with Switzerland, have reused the work done for REACH to submit a hazard assessment to the OECD Cooperative Chemicals Assessment Programme to reach international agreement. The conclusions are now publicly available from the Existing Chemicals database and eChemPortal. Learn more about the OECD hazard assessment activities.

This document, describing a Possible Approach for Developing Data to Estimate Leaching Rates of Biocidal Active Substances from Antifouling Coating Films, was developed based on the need to address the leaching rate of biocides from antifouling products, which is one of the most important parameters to estimate the emission of antifoulants in an environmental risk assessment. The purpose of this document is to outline various approaches used to estimate leaching rates of antifouling products. It is to be considered as a living document, likely to be revised when new data becomes available.

The costs and consequences of inaction would be colossal, in economic, environmental and human terms. The truth is that changing our model of growth and making it greener and more inclusive is the only credible strategy that we have.

A regional meeting “Improving Environmental Effectiveness of Economic Instruments in EECCA Countries” was held in Warsaw on 5-6 March, hosted by the Ministry of Environment of Poland. Participants considered the results of two comparative studies of environmental liability systems in OECD and EECCA countries and the implementation of their recommendations. They also discussed progress in reforming pollution charges and other economic instruments in EECCA over the last ten years and commented on the OECD secretariat’s plans for further analysis of this issue.

This Global on Environment/CCXG seminar brought together experts from a wide range of countries and organisations to discuss issues related to carbon markets and measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of climate change actions and finance. The seminar focussed on four specific topics of relevance to the ongoing climate change negotiations: (i) international assessment and review (IAR) and international consultations and analysis (ICA); (ii) setting baselines; (iii) MRV of finance; and (iv) managing greenhouse gas units from multiple market mechanisms.

The annual REPIN meeting was organised by the OECD/EAP Task Force Secretariat and hosted by the State Environmental Service of Latvia on 8-9 November 2010 in Riga. The meeting was attended by government officials and experts from most of the EECCA countries as well as from Estonia, Latvia and Poland. Representatives of the European Commission, the Regional Environmental Centres (RECs) of Russia and the Caucasus, as well as the Working Group of Environmental Auditing under the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) and the NGO community were also present.

The main objective of the meeting is to attract the attention of key stakeholders, foremost EECCA policy-makers, to international “good practices” and tools that can help countries to assess and improve their legal and institutional frameworks for PSP in the water and sanitation sector, and to discuss the reforms that could help to improve the framework for PSP.
