Climate Change Expert Group (CCXG) reports by year

 

The OECD and the IEA provide secretariat support to the CCXG and prepare analytical papers on issues relevant to the on-going climate change negotiations. Over 100 papers have been prepared for the group since 1993. Please note that these papers are intended to inform national policy-makers and other stakeholders; they do not necessarily represent the views of the OECD or the IEA, nor do they intend to prejudge the views of countries participating in the CCXG.

Papers published in 2009 onwards constitute the OECD/IEA Climate Change Expert Group Paper Series
