Pour soutenir les engagements de la France en matière de lutte contre le réchauffement climatique et ses objectifs environnementaux, la France lance en 2017 l’émission d’une obligation assimilable du Trésor (OAT) verte.
Cette émission obligataire financera des actions dans quatre domaines :
- l’atténuation du changement climatique - la protection de la biodiversité
- la réduction des pollutions de l’air, de l’eau et des sols
- l’adaptation au changement climatique
Les dépenses finançables via l’OAT verte incluent des dépenses fiscales, des subventions et des investissements. Elles pourront financer des actifs tangibles (immobilier, infrastructures, terrains) ou intangibles (R&D, connaissance scientifique, capital humain et organisation)
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) commits to assisting EECCA countries in accelerating policy reforms, including by devising regulatory and economic instruments. These instruments will strengthen the rule of law and compliance with environmental requirements that contribute to the greening of economic growth. The work would also include activities aimed at greening industry and strengthening the green growth measurement framework by using green growth indicators and other environmental accounting tools.
The commitment includes two main components. The first component includes efforts on promoting “smart’ environmental regulations, developing policy instruments to address challenges of urban air pollution, addressing environmental impacts of mining, and supporting the development of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Systems. The second component includes efforts on measuring and assessing progress towards green growth in the EECCA region.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) commits to helping EECCA countries to finance green investments. In particular, the OECD will assist countries to leverage and diversify financing for infrastructure development and green investments, especially to address climate change mitigation and adaptation. This could involve better expenditure management and greening of public finances as well as assistance for developing strategies for green investments in selected EECCA countries. The OECD will work with International Finance Institutions and local banks to enable private-sector investments in green projects. This will enhance EECCA countries’ ability to access finance.
This commitment will contribute to green public finance policy in EECCA countries. It will facilitate the reform of environmentally harmful subsidies and strengthen domestic public finance. OECD will also facilitate access to finance for green investment through better access to private and international financial institutions. This commitment also aims to support countries in developing strategies for green investment and structural reforms.
Latvia commits to a review of existing tax policies with the aim to provide fiscal incentives to improve waste management, reduce landfilling, enhance efficient use of resources and transition from natural resources to secondary materials. The commitment will set out clear provisions regarding the application of the Natural Resources Tax for waste management activities, in particular, disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The review is planned to set the Natural Resources Tax for different subjects to stimulate sorting and separate collection of waste, recycling, recovery and re-use, as well as encourage sustainable production and consumption patterns and use of secondary resources. The increased tax rate for waste disposal will reduce the volumes of waste in landfills while stimulating waste management companies to switch to other more favourable waste treatment options, such as recycling or reuse. Moreover, this instrument will result in an increase of separate waste collection and reduction of mixed waste volumes.
