Aligning Policies for a Low-Carbon Economy: A Synthesis

Published on Jun 2, 2015

OECD

This is an synthesis of the four organisations' initial diagnostic of where and how existing policy and regulatory frameworks may not be aligned with a low-carbon economy. In May 2014, ministers and representatives of OECD member countries and the EU gathered at the Ministerial Council Meeting invited the OECD to work with the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Transport Forum (ITF) “to continue to support the UNFCCC [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change] negotiations and to examine how to align policies across different areas for a successful economic transition of all countries to sustainable low-carbon and climate-resilient economies.” The OECD report "Aligning Policies for a Low-Carbon Economy" identifies where existing policy and regulatory frameworks are at odds with climate policy, i.e. where existing policies may make climate policy less effective than it could be otherwise.
