Trade in plastics waste can enable recycling if countries ensure minimum material quality, and environmental and working conditions. The OECD - OCDE conducts annual monitoring reports to track international shipments of plastic waste and scrap. The 2024 edition of the series shows that: 🌍 The global export volume of plastic waste has declined 49% in the past six years. Trade fell from 12.4 million tonnes in 2017 to 6.3 million tonnes in 2022. 📈 Regional trade – both within OECD European countries and North America – is increasing. 79% of OECD Europe's and 66% of OECD North America's exports of plastic waste in 2022 were regional. ⚖ OECD countries are transitioning from export dependence to a more neutral trade balance. In 2022, exports from OECD countries continued to decrease, whereas imports by OECD countries increased. The share of plastic waste exported to European countries including intra-EU trade, has increased by 15%.

Do you have access to a healthy environment? 🌍 ⚖ Within countries, towns, or cities, certain groups and communities can experience widely different environments from their peers. Countries are all facing similar challenges as they seek to tackle pressing environmental challenges – to ensure that no groups are left to bear disproportionate environmental and economic burdens and communities can meaningfully influence the decisions that affect them. The OECD - OCDE is bringing together countries and experts to address common challenges in environmental policymaking, share good practices and deepen the analytical base to develop better policies for advancing environmental justice.

There is a wide range of options to scale up and improve water finance in Africa and to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 💧💰📈 Ahead of World Water Week 2024, our latest OECD - OCDE environment paper provides an in-depth review of the opportunities and challenges surrounding water investment in Africa. The paper follows the lifecycle of a project, paying particular attention to equity and affordability, and presents concrete actions to: ✅ strengthen water policy investment frameworks ✅ build well-prepared and investment-ready water projects ✅ scale up risk mitigation instruments for water ✅ diversify financing instruments and sources Read it now to find out more 🔎📕➡ oe.cd/water-fin-af Aude Farnault | Khalifa Sarr | Cristina Aranzana Moreno | Harry Smythe | Walid OUESLATI | Mathilde Mesnard | Mohammed Saffar | Bakary Traoré | Paul Horrocks | Sophie Trémolet | Sama Al Taher Cucci | Government of the Netherlands | African Development Bank Group | African Water Facility | World Water Council | The World Bank | Agence Française de Développement | Sanitation and Water for All - a UNICEF-hosted global partnership | Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) #Africa | #WaterAction | #Water| #WWWeek | #WaterFinance | #SDG6

📢 Foundational data from the OECD - OCDE’s International Programme for Action and Climate (IPAC) has played a leading role in the first comprehensive global evaluation of 1 500 climate policy measures published today in the prestigious journal Science. Covering 41 countries across six continents, this unprecedented study provides a detailed impact analysis of the wide range of climate policy measures implemented over the last two decades. The findings reveal a sobering reality: many policy measures have failed to achieve the necessary scale of emissions reductions. Only 63 cases of successful climate policies, leading to an average emission reduction of 19% were identified. The key characteristics of these successful cases is the inclusion of tax and price incentives in well-designed policy mixes. The team of researchers evaluated the policy interventions implemented between 1998 and 2022, covering the entire spectrum of climate policy instruments, from energy-related building codes to purchase subsidies for climate-friendly products, and carbon taxes. Using the OECD Data Explorer - Climate actions and policies measurement framework, and an innovative approach combining machine learning methods with established statistical analyses, the team conducted a detailed impact evaluation to identify measures that achieved large-scale emissions reductions. We are grateful to PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) gGmbH, University of Oxford, and University of Victoria for their collaboration with the OECD on this important study. ➡ Access the article in Science https://lnkd.in/eJwZH5cy ➡ Explore the findings interactively on the Climate Policy Explorer website https://lnkd.in/efbMkVDU ➡ Find out more about IPAC and its Climate actions and policies measurement framework https://oe.cd/dx/capmf Daniel Nachtigall | Nathalie Girouard | Rodrigo Pizarro Gariazzo | Ivan Haščič #OECDIPAC #ClimatePolicy #Science #ClimateAction

🌍 To better address the impacts of climate change, OECD - OCDE countries are increasingly making climate change adaptation a policy priority. Assessing progress in the implementation of national adaptation policies is a critical step in understanding how adaptation efforts contribute to strengthening climate resilience, and whether they are effective. How has experience in adaptation policy design and implementation evolved? What are the remaining challenges for countries in measuring progress? 🗓 Join us at our next OECD Green Talks LIVE on 3 September 2024 from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST for a discussion with OECD and country experts on Measuring Progress in Adapting to a Changing Climate. We will be joined by OECD Policy Analyst Mikaela RAMBALI, as well as Climate Change Adaptation Policy Expert Gladys S. from the Ministry of Environment, Chile, the Climate Change Committee adaptation team’s Lead Analyst Miriam Kennedy, and Hoon Chang, Director General at the Korea Environment Institute. Building on a cross-country survey and country case studies carried out in Chile, Korea, the Slovak Republic and the United Kingdom, the talk will focus on a new OECD report, which provides insights into current practices in measuring climate adaptation. It proposes a framework that can guide countries on what needs to be measured and how, and also discusses the role that adaptation indicators and a conducive institutional environment can play in strengthening adaptation measurement Register now ➡ https://bit.ly/3Mghtlw 🔎📕Read the OECD report on Measuring Progress in Adapting to a Changing Climate 👉 https://lnkd.in/epdiWzwT Walid OUESLATI | Jo Tyndall | Mikaela RAMBALI | Catherine Desiree Gamper | Maike Kirsch | Simon TOUBOUL | Sama Al Taher Cucci | Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs #climatechange | #climateresilience | #climateadaptation | #climaterisks

Despite the countless benefits of chemicals, they need to be soundly managed to avoid risks to human health and the environment. However, policy makers do not currently have all the data they need to properly assess chemicals management options. The OECD - OCDE has filled this gap with the Surveys on Willingness-to-Pay to Avoid Negative Chemicals-Related Health Impacts (SWACHE) project. Its goal is to improve the basis of doing cost benefit analysis of chemicals regulations by helping to better quantify and monetise their morbidity impacts. Check out our video, to explore: 🔬 the basis of the project ⚕ the health effects it covers, and 🌐 how policymakers can use these data. 🔎 Explore the project: https://oe.cd/swache Resources for the Future | European Chemicals Agency | Damien Dussaux | Eeva Leinala | Jo Tyndall | Shardul Agrawala | Bob Diderich #ChemicalsManagement #SWACHE #Chemicals #Health #ChemicalExposure

What’s holding back the global shift to clean energy ? ⚡ The rapid and deep emissions reductions needed to keep global warming to 1.5°C rely critically on an immense scaling-up of investment in clean energy technologies. An important barrier remains: the cost of capital, which plays a key role in determining investment decisions. When elevated, it can hinder accelerated climate action. Here's why it matters: 📉 Clean energy technologies often require greater capital expenditures than fossil fuels, making them more susceptible to cost of capital fluctuations. 💰 In developing countries and for new and emerging technologies, a high cost of capital can significantly stifle investment. To overcome these barriers, governments must implement better risk-sharing mechanisms, among other mechanisms, that foster clean energy investments. By addressing these challenges, we can accelerate the global shift to clean energy. Learn more about our findings and recommendations in a new OECD - OCDE paper, Bridging the clean energy investment gap: Cost of capital in the transition to net-zero emissions ➡ oe.cd/5ER #CleanEnergy | #NetZero | #ClimateAction Cian Montague Kilian Raiser Moongyung Lee
