Tracking progress towards Paris Agreement goals in the context of the energy crisis

Dec 11, 2023 | 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Reaching net zero Energy Data & tracking

Description

Governments have been raising their climate mitigation ambition through a variety of adopted or planned mitigation policy approaches. The recent energy crisis however has brought new challenges to governments in progressing towards the energy and climate transitions while ensuring energy security and affordability. Policies to shield households and firms from the energy crisis implemented by governments may not all be in line with mitigation policies. How successful have governments been progressing towards their net-zero goals during the energy crisis and how can this be tracked? What are the policy packages that will help countries reach climate and energy goals while ensuring affordable energy for all? What types of policy measures can accelerate green investments, while maintaining incentives for energy savings and encouraging energy diversification? As energy price volatility may be here to stay, OECD and external experts will share views on how governments can effectively advance towards their long-term mitigation goals amidst competing short-term priorities and energy market turmoil. Experts will identify measures that can both help to meet climate goals and increase the resilience to future energy price shocks.

The OECD Energy Support Measures Tracker aims to take stock of all government interventions to support energy users since February 2021 and provide estimates of the associated budgetary costs. The current vintage of the database has a cut-off date of 23 May 2023 and covers 41 countries, of which 35 are OECD economies (all member countries except Iceland, Hungary and Switzerland) and 6 non-OECD economies (Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, India, Romania, and South Africa).

There are major gaps in the measurement of the adoption and stringency of countries’ climate actions and policies, notably in a manner coherent across countries, time, sectors and instrument types. The climate actions and policies measurement framework (CAPMF) aims to fill this gap. It is a structured and harmonised climate mitigation policy database that informs about countries’ climate action. The CAPMF was developed under the International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC).
