How can we unlock the trillions needed to power a net-zero future? Renewables are expected to meet nearly half of global electricity demand by 2030—that's over 5,500 GW of new capacity. To reach net-zero emissions by mid-century, annual global investment in clean energy must rise from USD 1.8 trillion to around USD 4.5 trillion each year by the early 2030s—a gap of USD 2.7 trillion per year. Clean energy projects are more sensitive to the cost of capital than fossil fuel equivalents. Developing countries and new technologies face particularly high investment barriers. On #EarthDay discover the findings from our Environment Working Paper paper on bridging the clean energy investment gap. Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wS9la

Pleased to join UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Envoy for Digital and Emerging Technologies, Amandeep Gill, at #UN Headquarters in New York for the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the #OECD and the United Nations on Artificial Intelligence. This agreement marks an important milestone in deepening our collaboration to advance principled, science-based, and evidence-driven approaches to #AI — helping countries unlock its economic and societal benefits while managing its risks responsibly. The MoU builds on key recent developments including the Global Digital Compact, the OECD’s updated AI Principles, and the work of the Global Partnership on AI (#GPAI). It sets the stage for closer cooperation through joint research and analysis, regular assessments of AI opportunities and risks, and a broad range of initiatives leveraging the respective strengths of both organisations. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to ensuring that AI is developed and deployed in ways that are human-centred, trustworthy, and aligned with our common values. #OECDAI

13% of GDP in OECD countries is allocated to procurement — the process by which governments purchase goods, services, and works to meet public needs. Good public procurement is no longer just a compliance exercise—it is now used as a strategic policy tool that drives innovation, enhances competitiveness, and promotes sustainability. Governments have a unique opportunity to reshape markets and stimulate economic resilience. Join us on 1-2 of July in Paris for the Global Public Procurement Forum where policymakers, industry leaders, and experts will discuss how procurement can: ➡️ Drive innovation by incentivising cutting-edge solutions ➡️ Support SMEs through inclusive procurement policies ➡️ Enhance resilience by embedding sustainability in procurement practices Register now: https://brnw.ch/21wS4Zc | #OECDprocurement
