Dear colleagues,
Climate action to date has largely focused on the energy transition, with less attention placed on the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses (AFOLU) sector - despite its unique characteristics. It is both a major source of emissions and the only sector that can remove carbon from the atmosphere at scale. As we head towards COP30 in Brazil, climate policy discussions are increasingly turning to how to harness the full potential of the sector in addressing climate change.
With this backdrop in mind, we are pleased to invite you to this year's Green Growth and Sustainable Development (GGSD) Forum on "Forests, agriculture and other land uses as a cornerstone of climate action<https://www.oecd-events.org/ggsd-2025/en/eventagenda>" taking place 2-3 July 2025.
Over five thematic sessions, world-leading experts and government representatives will examine the role of improved forest management in enhancing carbon sequestration and safeguarding natural capital, and how agriculture can reduce emissions, support biodiversity and build resilience - all while maintaining productivity. Discussions will also address key challenges in measuring GHG emissions and removals, opportunities to scale up finance to leverage forests as carbon sinks, and more broadly, the interlinkages between forests and rural development.
The Forum will be opened by the OECD Secretary-General. Featured speakers will include:
* Eric LAMBIN, Professor, Université Catholique de Louvain, Ishiyama Provostial Professorship at the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences and the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University
* Franz TATTENBACH CAPRA, Minister for Environment and Energy, Costa Rica
* Armands KRAUZE, Minister for Agriculture, Latvia
* Julie COLLINS, Deputy Director-General Policy and Trade, Ministry for Primary Industries, New Zealand
* Hiroyuki ISONO, CEO, Oji Holdings, Japan
* Jack HURD, Executive Director, Tropical Forest Alliance, World Economic Forum
* Anja GASSNER, Director Europe, CIFOR-ICRAF
The Forum brings together multiple OECD committees across a wide range of policy priorities, providing a platform for multidisciplinary and cross-committee exchange. It forms part of the OECD's flagship Horizontal Project Net Zero+: Building Climate and Economic Resilience<https://www.oecd.org/en/about/programmes/net-zero-building-climate-and-economic-resilience.html>.
The Forum will be held in-person at the OECD Conference Centre Auditorium (2 rue André Pascal, 75016 Paris) with online streaming available.

*Weds 16 - Fri 18 July | University of Leeds and Online*
The full programme for the third Forum on Scenarios for Climate and
Societal Futures (Scenarios Forum 2025) is now available! Across three
plenary sessions and a broad array of parallel presentations and posters,
delegates will share their knowledge and insights and explore the
transformative potential of scenarios that address not only climate but
also health, biodiversity, equity and justice, cities and co-benefits to
inform policy, and open up new possibilities for the future.

Brazil’s plans to expand oil and gas production by more than 20% by 2030
pose significant economic risks, with up to 85% of state-owned company
Petrobras’ planned extraction unprofitable under a 1.5 °C climate scenario,
according to new analysis.
The study, released today by the International Institute for Sustainable
Development (IISD), World Benchmarking Alliance, and WWF-Brazil, finds that
Petrobras’s most high-risk ventures would only turn a profit if global
temperatures rise by 2.4 °C or more—well beyond internationally agreed
climate limits.
It comes as Brazil’s government prepares to auction exploration permits on
June 17, including 47 offshore blocks in the ecologically sensitive mouth
of the Amazon basin.

Dear colleagues,
Ahead of the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference in Bonn, we are pleased to share with you our two latest OECD-IEA Climate Change Expert Group (CCXG) papers, which provide timely analysis to support discussions. They focus on taking forward the UAE-Belém work programme on adaptation indicators and how insights from the first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) can enhance the next nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
📕Considerations for taking forward the UAE-Belém work programme on adaptation indicators
Established by the Paris Agreement, the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) reflects the commitment of Parties to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, and reduce vulnerability. The UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience specifies thematic and dimensional targets to achieve the GGA. It also established a process to identify indicators to guide assessments of progress towards the GGA. This paper explores issues to be considered as Parties agree on a GGA indicator set and examines the balance between ambition and feasibility in indicator operationalisation. Drawing lessons from other international frameworks, the analysis highlights the need for an iterative approach to measuring progress towards the GGA that facilitates adjustments to the indicator set over time and in response to evolving data and reporting capacities. The analysis underscores the potential of the GGA targets and indicators in channelling information from national to global reporting systems to ensure that global assessments of progress towards the GGA are informed by national experiences. Further, it notes that the GGA indicators provide an opportunity to enhance coherence across existing reporting instruments under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement, supporting information collection for future global stocktakes.

📗Early insights from biennial transparency reports (BTRs) to enhance the next nationally determined contributions (NDCs)
The first Global Stocktake (GST1) underscored current gaps in climate ambition and implementation, and issued calls to align efforts with 1.5°C pathways, in particular for the energy sector in paragraph 28 of the GST1 decision. This paper analyses new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR1s) in relation to energy calls in the GST1, as well as finance-related information in BTR1s for insights to inform the next NDCs and implement the GST1 outcomes. Many new NDCs submitted by May 2025 contain references to paragraph 28 calls, with quantitative responses predominantly focusing on well-defined calls, such as tripling of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Given timing challenges, few BTR1s explicitly reference paragraph 28, however many include relevant indicators that could be used to formulate a response to these calls of the GST1 going forward. Information in BTR1s on financing current NDCs and related challenges can guide decisions by stakeholders, including the private sector, inform future transparency-related support, and provide insights on mobilising resources from different sources to support NDC delivery. Sharing insights from experiences, including through facilitative, multilateral consideration of progress (FMCP) sessions, can facilitate peer exchange and encourage mutual learning among Parties on implementing their NDCs.
