💡Tree cover in large cities fell 72% between 1992 and 2018.

44% of cities' economic output is at risk from nature loss.

Our new Nature-Positive Cities framework helps policymakers integrate biodiversity into urban planning and investment.

24 of 27 EU countries have developed circular economy strategies, but progress is slow.

A circular economy approach – where resources are reused, repaired & recycled – could cut emissions by up to 70% by 2050 and reduce waste in cities.

Average growth in @OECD countries has slowed to just 2% a year since 2000.

In my recent article on place-based policy for the @diplocourier I discuss industrial policy and how it can’t ignore local realities.

Well-designed #ClimatePolicies can deliver stronger #EconomicGrowth than the current policy trajectory.

Today, the @OECD & @UNDP published a new report on investing in climate for growth & development, highlighting why enhanced #NDCs make sense.

[OECD Development @OECDdev]

The latest OECD data show that in 2023, 36% of official development assistance (#ODA) included climate objectives — a historic share.

But the total ODA of USD 56 billion represented a decrease in absolute value, down from USD 58 billion in 2022.

💡Tourism contributes 8–10% of global CO₂ emissions, with aviation alone responsible for 2.5%.

AI is beginning to offer tools to help reduce this impact.

@OECD experts Jane Stacey and Peter Haxton explore how AI can shape sustainable tourism.
