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.

This report is a contribution to the OECD Environment Directorate's work on environmental policy and technological innovation (www.oecd.org/environment/innovation). It summarises recent progress in the development of indicators of innovation and transfer in environmentally sound technologies (EST). A number of alternative measures are discussed, and the methodology for the development of indicators based on patent data is presented.

The objective of the Conference organised by the Environment Directorate was to present the overall results of the OECD Household Survey on Environmental Behaviour and to discuss policy implications. Ten experts teams coordinated by the OECD presented their main findings in five key areas: energy, transport, waste, organic food and water. The Conference will also provide an opportunity to share experience and to explore avenues for the new round of the OECD Survey to be implemented in 2010.

Based on a review of empirical studies, this book analyses the determinants of environmental behaviour in five key areas where households exert pressure on the environment: energy use, transport, waste generation, food consumption and water use. The book widens the scope of previous analysis by examining the effect of various types of environmental policy instruments and by considering differences in environmental behaviour among households (e.g. age, income, education). It concludes by examining main policy implications for the choice and the design of instruments.
