EU4Environment has launched the work on creating the web book for the EaP countries on the OECD interactive Environment at a Glance platform. The initial steps of this work were presented to the OECD-member states on 22 November 2023 at the OECD Working Party on Environmental Information (WPEI).
This webbook will highlight the tangible progress achieved by the EaP countries in greening their economies over the past three decades, as well as the remaining challenges. It aims to respond to the growing demand among the EaP countries for reliable and internally comparable indicators to monitor the green transition. It will offer an innovative and interactive tool to policymakers, experts, and the general public to monitor progress towards greening the economies by providing access to the latest data and policy messages, arising from it. It will increase the visibility of the EaP countries in the OECD-wide work, facilitate benchmarking with countries with similar environmental pressures and inspire policy reform. This work builds on data available in the OECD and other international databases, combining some central elements of the OECD Green Growth Indicators framework and the OECD Core Set of Environmental Indicators.
This webbook builds upon the collaboration between the two sister programmes – “EU4Environment – Green Economy” and “EU4Environment – Water and Data”. The work is planned to be finalized in the first quarter of 2024 and presented at the final EU4Environment Regional Assembly and the next WPEI meeting in March 2024.
