Economic growth must be environmentally sustainable - OECD

Economic activity poses major risks for the environment, and major challenges still exist for addressing pollution, climate change and environmental sustainability, according to the OECD’s annual Going for Growth report. The publication lays out a range of country-specific reform recommendations to ensure that economic policy and environmental policy go hand-in-hand, including better use of environmental taxation, phasing out agricultural subsidies and environmentally harmful tax breaks, and new actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
