OECD

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) is an international organisation comprised of 38 Member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting. The Environment Directorate ( ENV ), in line with the strategic objectives of the Secretary-General, is working toward supporting governments in identifying and implementing the environmental policies needed to support a cleaner, more resource-efficient and low-carbon future. The Directorate comprises approximately 200 staff members working across a range of issues such as: climate change, biodiversity, water, eco-innovation, resource productivity and waste, environmental policy tools and evaluation, green growth, safety of chemicals, biotechnology and nanomaterials, and linkages between environment and tax, agriculture, energy, transport, development assistance, trade and investment policies. The Finance for Climate Action (FCA) team of the Finance, Investment and Global Relations (ENV/FIG) Division conducts work on tracking, alignment, consistency and integrity of finance for climate goals. This work supports policymakers by producing progress assessments based on best available approaches and data, developing new evidence, as well as bridging coordination and knowledge gaps between policymakers, finance providers, financial market stakeholders, and researchers. It does so through developing flagship and analytical outputs, convening knowledge-sharing platforms, collaborating with stakeholders and engaging in international policy processes.
