Climate change is the greatest collective challenge that we have ever faced says OECD’s Gurría

18-sept.-2009

Climate change is the greatest collective challenge that we have ever faced and the world needs a significant reduction in global emissions from current levels. Many developed countries have already committed to reduce GHG emissions in the near-term, but the targets must be more ambitious. At the COP15 Conference in Copenhagen, we have a unique opportunity to address this threat but many questions still remain without answers, according to the OECD Secretary-General.

The economics of climate change mitigation: how to build the necessary global action in a cost-effective manner

05-juin-2009

This paper outlines key steps towards the development of a single international carbon price -- including phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, and expanding and linking regional carbon markets through direct linking of existing emission trading systems, scaled-up CDM, use of sectoral crediting mechanisms, and incorporation of the forest sector. It examines the incentives for action, including possible financing flows to support action in developing countries.

OECD side events at UN Climate Change sessions in Bonn, March-April 2009

07-avr.-2009

OECD held two side events at the UN Climate Change sessions in Bonn. The first, on 31 March, addressed critical questions for the post-2012 climate framework, including mitigation support and finance, and how to ensure mitigation actions can be “measured, reported, and verified”. The second side-event, on 7 April, looked at critical issues for reaching a post-2012 climate deal, including carbon leakage concerns, incentives for action by all major emitters, and the role of sectoral approaches in the carbon market. New analysis by OECD and IEA was presented at the side events.

Economic Aspects of Adaptation to Climate Change: Integrated Assessment Modelling of Adaptation Costs and Benefits

03-avr.-2009

Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions need to move hand in hand with policies and incentives to adapt to the impacts of climate change. This report seeks to inform critical questions with regard to policy mixes of investments in adaptation and mitigation, and how they might vary over time. Adaptation cost curves are estimated for the world, as well as for specific regions. The policy simulations presented in this report show that the costs of inaction are high, and thus it is important to start acting on both mitigation and adaptation now.

Recent OECD Work on Climate Change / Global Warming

20-janv.-2009

The OECD’s objective is to help its member countries prepare for the future by supporting them with sound policy analysis and options to achieve climate change goals in an environmentally-effective and economically-efficient manner. A number of projects are underway to implement this across several OECD Directorates and in the specialised agencies associated with the OECD, such as the IEA and the NEA. This document highlights this work.
