Adaptation to climate change

First meeting of the OECD Task Force on Climate Change Adaptation

11 February 2020
9h15
OECD Paris, CC13
Conference

The OECD Task Force on Climate Change Adaptation (TFCCA) meets as part of the OECD’s Working Party on Climate, Investment & Development as well as on Biodiversity, Water & Ecosystems; both are part of the OECD Environment Policy Committee. The objective of the TFCCA is to assist the OECD Secretariat in delivering projects for the Environment Policy Committee to advance countries’ policy agendas in support of strengthening their resilience to climate change and climate variability.

The TFCCA seeks to promote concrete solutions and develop policy guidance on climate change adaptation. This work is informed by policy analysis, the collection of data and the development of indicators, carried out as part of the Environment Policy Committee projects. The results can inspire national policies on adaptation and facilitate the assessment and monitoring of progress in implementing countries’ climate change adaptation agendas. 

Objectives of the first meeting of the TFCCA

  • Familiarise countries with the TFCCA and give them the opportunity to discuss their views of the tasks that will be undertaken by it
  • Discuss and agree on the TFCCA’s mandate;
  • Showcase the value of the TFCCA in generating information and ideas that can inspire countries’ climate change adaptation policies;
  • Discuss opportunities for relevant work, in the context of the Environment Policy Committee’s programme of work for 2019-20 and 2021-22.
