Sessions:
1. Update on approval of the refined proposals for fine-tuning the climate Rio markers definitions, eligibility criteria and guidance
This session provided an overview of the revised proposal for fine-tuning the climate Rio markers definitions, eligibility criteria and guidance, and will reflect on the outcomes of the WP-STAT 2nd November meeting (agenda item 2b), where WP-STAT has been invited to approve for the inclusion in the Statistical Directives, the refined definitions and guidance tables for the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Rio markers.
Ms. Gisela Campillo & Ms. Valérie Gaveau, OECD Secretariat
This session provided an update on the progress undertaken by the Joint Group of MDBs to develop reporting approaches for tracking biodiversity finance, with a Question and Answer session. This was followed by a brainstorming for initial ideas on the approach for fine-tuning the OECD DAC biodiversity Rio marker definition.
3. Improving the transparency of members reporting on finance to the UNFCCC and CBD
This session focused on efforts to improve the transparency of members reporting on financial support under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
Ms. Stephanie Ockenden, OECD Secretariat
Ms. Jennifer Calder, OECD Secretariat
The session discussed the OECD DAC Secretariat’s planned communications on climate-related development finance at the upcoming UNFCCC COP21, taking place from November 30th-December 11th in Paris.
5. Update on progress of members’ and international organisations’ reporting to OECD DAC on climate and environment-related Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Other Official Flows (OOF)
This session reviewed progress by members and international organisations in reporting to the OECD DAC on the Rio and environment markers, and “green” multilateral flows, including reviewing the status of 2014 flows reporting against the official summer deadlines and in the context of the special reporting exercise on 2014 climate-related development finance data.
Ms. Mariana Mirabile, OECD Secretariat
This session took stock of the Task Team’s progress against the work plan agreed at the First Task Team meeting in March 2014, and discussed arrangements and modalities for future work. It was anticipated that this meeting is the final meeting of the Task Team per se, but that many elements of the Task Team’s work will continue through other modalities, for example i) as part of members and international organisations regular reporting to the OECD DAC and ii) under the existing Secretariat plans and work under the WP-STAT and ENVIRONET. There may however be need and interest to continue specific joint work areas and convene specific joint workshops of the ENVIRONET-WP-STAT in future. This session was to explore members’ priorities for future joint work and suggested modalities
