Mission-oriented policies for net zero: Combining technological and social innovations to deliver on ambitious agendas

OnlineNov 22, 2024 | 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Description

As the negative impacts of climate change intensify, it is clear that the incremental and fragmented approaches of the past have failed to address the systemic nature of the problem. Since the mid-2010s, mission-driven policies have emerged as a promising tool to break down silos, promote collaboration, and drive systemic change. However, many Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) missions, led by relevant authorities in this policy field, remain too focused on technology development, missing the broader changes needed for large-scale deployment. Beside the STI arena, sectoral authorities in areas like water, transport, and energy are starting to recognise the value of missions in tackling societal challenges. Yet, they often fail to fully leverage technological innovation to drive long-term transformative change. This session brings together OECD experts and STI and sectoral policymakers to discuss how to bridge this gap and foster cross-sectoral collaboration for impactful solutions: • What concrete and actionable form of collective action could bring together all these actors in a real all-hands-on-deck approach? • What are inspiring examples of initiatives combining both technological and social innovation? • How to make ‘innovation mission’ more systemic? • What are examples of missions initiated and led by sectoral authorities?
