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%.

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

Risk mitigation strategies can reduce the financing costs of clean hydrogen projects, therefore improving their competitiveness. This is particularly true in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) where financing costs are higher than in developed countries. The OECD Environment, with support from the The World Bank, organised on 18 July a stakeholder workshop to explore how key risk mitigation instruments can help mobilise private finance for clean hydrogen projects. Thanks to speakers from OECD Yuval Laster, Moongyung Lee and Joseph Cordonnier, World Bank Dolf Gielen, CORFO Ana Maria Ruz, Engie Hyerin Park, Standard Bank Mphokolo Makara, African Development Bank Gadi Taj Ndahumba, Lawyer and CFA, and Swiss Re Jeroen Weurding, for sharing their insights. Main takeaways: 🚀 There is an increasing appetite for clean hydrogen among investors, but there remain many challenges to identify bankable projects, especially in EMDEs. 🚀Embedding a clear evaluation of environment social and government (ESG) criteria, as well as establishing common or interoperable standards and certification schemes are key conditions to attract investments in clean hydrogen projects. 🚀Instruments, such as off-take guarantees, political risk/foreign currency insurances and technology performance guarantees, are key to ensure that projects reach Final Investment Decision (FID). 🚀International collaboration will be instrumental to boost mutual knowledge exchange, strengthen projects identification and appraisal, and eventually result in joint financing.

How you move matters. The transport sector is responsible for approximately one-quarter of CO₂ emissions. Households play a key role in the transition to more sustainable modes of transport. Our new paper explores the drivers and barriers of sustainable household transport behaviours. 💡 What are some key findings? 🔋 Access to charging stations is one of the most important drivers of electric vehicle adoption, more important than costs, range, or recharging time. 💰 Rising income has a strong positive effect on travel demand, car ownership and use, especially for low- and medium-income households. 🚌 Geography matters. Households in rural areas are 20-30% more likely to use their car compared to households in urban areas. 👥 Environmental awareness has an impact on travel behaviours, in particular on less frequent but high-impact choices. Respondents reporting greater environmental awareness are 6-7% less likely to own a car and 5% more likely to purchase a battery electric vehicle compared to less aware respondents.

Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations is key for addressing environmental challenges, implementing laws and policies, and promoting sustainable development. The five EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) have made improvements to their legal foundations for compliance assurance. However, implementation challenges persist in certain areas including integrity, institutional coordination, information management and staff capacity building. A new OECD - OCDE brochure, Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations in the Eastern Partnership countries, presents progress achieved in the EaP countries during the implementation of the EU4Environment: Green Economy Programme, funded by the European Commission's EU Neighborhood & Enlargement (DG NEAR). The Programme has supported the countries in reforming environmental compliance assurance systems and liability regimes through targeted analysis, capacity building, and networking using relevant EU legislation and practices as benchmarks.
