Description
International investment agreements (IIAs) have the potential to play a role in mobilising sustainable investment. In addition to the ongoing debate and action on targeting investment treaty benefits on climate grounds and ensuring policy space for government climate action, there are a range of new developments in addressing sustainable development in IIAs. Based on a new OECD report "Strengthening sustainable investment through international investment agreements (IIAs)", this session explores the role of IIAs with new types of sustainable investment provisions in mobilising investments to tackle global sustainability challenges, including through the establishment of international cooperation frameworks and their implementation at the domestic level.
