The meeting of the Environment Action Programme (EAP) Task Force took place on 17-18 September 2013 in Tbilisi, Georgia. It marked the 20th anniversary of the EAP Task Force and of OECD’s support for its work. The nature of work has evolved considerably over the years and is now focused on environment-related co-operation with countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA). The discussion was built around two main components of the EAP Task Force’s programme of work: green growth policies, with a focus on fossil fuel subsidies, and water policy reform, particularly the linkage to green growth. The meeting was attended by government officials from nine EECCA countries, Romania, and eight OECD members. Representatives of the European Commission, EBRD, the European Investment Bank, UNECE, UNEP, UNIDO, four Regional Environmental Centres, as well as the NGO and business community were also present. | ||
