Climate Finance in 2013-14 and the USD 100 billion Goal - A Report by the OECD in Collaboration with Climate Policy Initiative

Statement by the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría on COP21 Agreement

This is a watershed day for the world and especially heartening for the OECD as one of the first international bodies to call for zero net emissions in the second half of the century, for a price on carbon and for greater efforts to channel finance into the low carbon economy.

OECD at #COP21

World leaders faced a fundamental dilemma: take strong action to address the risks associated with climate change, or see the ability to limit this threat slip from their grasp. Check out how the OECD contributed to get a successful outcome on 12 December at COP21 in Paris.

Climate disclosure: knowledge powers change

Everybody is interested in the impacts of what companies are doing and the environmental practices and impacts of doing business are coming under increasing scrutiny. OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría looks at how both governments and investors are ready to scale up climate disclosure and the use of climate information.

Getting the most out of corporate climate change disclosure

We have more and more evidence about the risks that climate change poses to our planet. But climate change also threatens the long-term health and stability of financial markets and the global economy. And we don’t know nearly enough to understand and measure these risks.

Rethinking fiduciary duty for a more sustainable planet

If we want to get serious about unlocking green investment, we need to get serious about systematically integrating climate risks into our understanding of fiduciary duty.

Pathway to a low-carbon economy: Remarks at OECD-University of Cambridge COP21 side event

The starting point is clear: our economies have been hard-wired around fossil fuels for well over a century. This hard-wiring is evident in our physical infrastructure. Perhaps less obvious, but equally problematic, it is also evident in our policies, regulations and institutions.

Beyond climate: Environmental indicators - COP21 side event

On 9 December 2015, at the OECD workspace at COP21, Myriam Linster, Aldo Ravazzi, Guillaume Sainteny and Simon Upton commented on key graphs from OECD publications to reposition the climate in the broader context of major environmental issues and related policies.

The Secretary-General was at the opening of Paris 2015 - Leaders Day. He also participated in several high-level events, and held bilateral meetings with numerous leaders attending the COP21.

Climate change mitigation: We must do more

Countries everywhere have committed to fighting climate change but many are still subsidising fossil fuels, investing little in green technologies, failing to put a realistic price on carbon, and allowing transport emissions to grow. Much more can and should be done.
