To mark at the same time the 2022 Environment Ministerial Meeting and over fifty years of the OECD Environment Policy Committee (EPOC), the OECD featured artwork from environmental artists in collaboration with Colombia, France, Germany, Greece and the Slovak Republic at the OECD Headquarters in Paris.

In addition, a tree planting activity, offered by the Delegation of Germany to the OECD and the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection took place to highlight German artists' tree planting project designed to enable and encourage planting of trees in different places and cities around the world.

This brochure highlights the tree planting project, and summarises the artists' work and biographies.
