Net Zero+: The OECD Horizontal Project on Climate and Economic Resilience

The OECD’s Horizontal Project on Climate and Economic Resilience is using the multidisciplinary reach of the OECD to support governments in driving the swift transformational change needed to tackle climate change. The project will provide analysis and insights for governments looking at the whole climate picture: driving a rapid and resilient transition to net-zero while building resilience to physical climate impacts, all in the context of lingering effects of COVID-19 and the far-reaching effects of Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine.

International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC)

The OECD International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC) supports country progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a more resilient economy by 2050. Through regular monitoring, policy evaluation and feedback on results and best practices, IPAC helps countries strengthen and co-ordinate their climate action. It complements and supports the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement monitoring frameworks.

Finance

Aligning finance with climate goals: Assessing progress to net zero and preventing greenwashing

Aligning finance with climate policy goals is crucial for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and resilience to climate change, as called for by Article 2.1c of the Paris Agreement. Evidence-based policy making and investment decisions towards such alignment need to be informed by robust assessments. To support such efforts, this inaugural OECD Review on Aligning Finance with Climate Goals brings together best-available evidence on three core questions.

Subnational Government Climate Finance

Despite the key financial role that regions and cities play in the carbon-neutral transition and the global response to climate change due, in large part, to their jurisdiction over crucial adaptation and mitigation-relevant policy areas (land-use planning, waste management, transport) there is a lot that we do not know about their financial role.

Closing the credibility gap: Aligning corporate near-term actions with long-term net-zero targets 

Record-breaking temperatures and frequent climate disasters have become a new unsettling reality, causing billion-dollar losses and reversing global development. In response, corporates are stepping up action on climate change. Although still not ubiquitous, net-zero commitments are rapidly becoming commonplace in many companies. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) estimates that companies with science-based targets now represent 34% of the global economy by market capitalisation.
