OECD-OCDE

The Climate Club calls for greater financial and technical assistance for industrial decarbonisation in emerging and developing economies. Growing industrial demand in emerging markets and developing economies is set to drive investment in this region. Ensuring these investments are climate-aligned is crucial for successful climate action. This will require decarbonising existing manufacturing industries and leapfrogging emissions-intensive production routes. Clear policy signals and innovative financing mechanisms can help to attract investments for industry decarbonisation in EMDEs.

Pleased to announce our @G7-@OECD Joint Initiative: Strengthening Seed Certification in Africa, the first initiative of its kind. Over the next 5 years, this project will support African countries in seed certification to: ➡️ Facilitate access to quality seeds to farmers ➡️ Improve farmers’ livelihoods ➡️ Facilitate trade and access to new markets. ➡️ Build an inclusive seed system to achieve food security and sustainability goals High quality seeds can lead to better yields, increased income for farmers, and enhance food security and agricultural productivity across the continent. 🔗 https://oe.cd/5I1

Better food systems start with better seeds. We are pleased to team up with #G7 and International Seed Federation on a joint initiative to address seed quality and certification in Africa. Through this long-term capacity-building programme, the G7-OECD Joint Initiative: Strengthening Seed Certification in Africa aims to enhance seed varietal certification systems in Africa. Effective seed certification can: ➡️ Increase crop yields ➡️ Limit hunger ➡️ Promote high-quality produce ➡️ Attract new investments to the local seed sector ➡️ Facilitate trade and access to new markets ➡️ Reduce fraud Learn more: oe.cd/seeds | OECD Trade and Agriculture | OECD Development

🆕 Tax Policy Reforms 2024: Don't miss our annual publication with comparative information on tax reforms across countries and tax policy developments over time. This report covers tax reforms announced and implemented in 2023 across 90 member countries and jurisdictions, including all OECD countries. It provides an overview of the shifting tax policy landscape as governments work to balance the need for increased domestic revenue with efforts to mitigate the cost-of-living crisis impacting households and businesses. Notably, the report points to a shift away from the tax reductions introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent high inflation period. Instead, there is a move towards more balanced approaches, including rate increases and base broadening initiatives, aimed at creating fiscal space to tackle long-term structural challenges such as population aging, rising inequality, and climate change.

Financial and technical assistance for industry decarbonisation in EMDEs have not received the necessary attention so far. Decarbonising the industrial sector, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), is essential to achieving the Paris Agreement’s objectives, but faces significant challenges, including the need for massive investments, underdeveloped low-carbon technologies, long asset lifespans, and competitive pricing in global markets. Emerging markets and developing economies are key for successful climate action, given that most industry investments are set to take place in response to growing demand. This will require decarbonising their existing manufacturing industries and leapfrogging emissions-intensive production routes.
