Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are closely interlinked, as they share common drivers and affect each other in various ways at the local, national, and supra-national scale. An improved understanding of these interlinkages can inform policy design in leveraging synergies and balancing trade-offs across the different scales and dimensions.
The workshop convened experts on economic, biophysical, and integrated assessment modelling of the interactions between climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The workshop took stock of ongoing modelling efforts to develop quantitative pathways to study the drivers and impacts of the triple planetary crisis and the policies to address it.
The aim was to identify robust modelling approaches to inform the work for the upcoming OECD Environmental Outlook, while strengthening the interdisciplinary and science-policy dialogues.
