On 22-23 November 2022, the OECD will organize its annual Green Growth and Sustainable Development (GSDD) Forum on green innovation and the impact of economic shocks.
The economic shocks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s large-scale aggression against Ukraine are likely to reshape the science-policy interface with significant implications for net-zero goals, green growth, and sustainable development.
The forum will discuss how these recent developments affect mission-oriented approaches for green innovation and the role that low-carbon hydrogen and the bio-economy sectors could play in a sustainable recovery. It will also discuss the specific challenges and opportunities faced by SMEs, and lessons learned from the international scientific community in response to the pandemic for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) efforts to address environmental degradation.
