The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises acknowledge and encourage the positive contributions that business can make to economic, environmental and social progress, and also recognise that business activities can result in adverse impacts related to workers, human rights, the environment, bribery, consumers and corporate governance. This Guidance helps businesses to understand and implement due diligence for responsible business conduct. It also seeks to promote a common understanding on responsible business conduct amongst governments and stakeholders.
Les Principes directeurs de l’OCDE à l’intention des entreprises multinationales établissent que les entreprises peuvent contribuer au progrès économique, environnemental et social, et incitent ces dernières à poursuivre leurs efforts en ce sens, mais également que leurs activités peuvent entraîner des risques d’impacts négatifs sur les travailleurs, les droits de l’Homme, l’environnement, la corruption, les consommateurs et la gouvernance d’entreprise. Ce Guide aide les entreprises à comprendre et à mettre en œuvre le devoir de diligence pour une conduite responsable des entreprises. Il vise également à promouvoir une définition commune aux gouvernements et aux parties prenantes du devoir de diligence pour une conduite responsable des entreprises.
Chile’s energy policy has evolved dynamically in recent years. In response to changes in the domestic and international environment, significant institutional and policy reforms as well as major infrastructure projects have been carried out. The National Energy Policy 2050 was adopted in 2015, following an exceptionally inclusive public consultation. The electricity sector, in particular, has developed quickly.
This second review of Chile’s energy policies by the International Energy Agency finds that the country has emerged as a world-class destination for solar and wind energy developers. New legislation encourages investment in generating capacity across the electricity sector. The expanded role of the state in energy planning has helped to boost project development, especially in electricity transmission. The country now also has an interconnected national electricity system.
Integrating growing shares of variable renewable energy requires a flexible power system. More transmission infrastructure, storage, and demand-side response are needed. The government should now ensure that the electricity market design and infrastructure facilitate the integration of solar and wind power. By exploiting its vast renewable energy potential, Chile can help reduce electricity prices and dependency on fuel imports.
Renewables and energy efficiency can also help limit carbon emissions and air pollution. Chile should make more use of mandatory energy performance standards for products, equipment, vehicles and buildings. Efficient and clean use of firewood and alternative heating technologies can be supported through policies, regulation and financial incentives. Energy and climate aspects should also be an integral part of the long-term policies for transport and urban development.
Die Verbesserung der Streitbeilegungsmechanismen ist ein zentraler Bestandteil der Arbeiten zu BEPS. Die unter Aktionspunkt 14 des BEPS-Projekts erarbeiteten Maßnahmen, die in diesem Bericht behandelt werden, sollen die Gefahr von Rechtsunsicherheiten und unbeabsichtigter Doppelbesteuerung auf ein Mindestmaß begrenzen. Dies erreichen sie, indem sie die einheitliche und ordnungsgemäße Umsetzung von Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen gewährleisten, einschließlich der wirksamen und zügigen Beilegung von Streitigkeiten über deren Auslegung oder Anwendung im Rahmen des Verständigungsverfahrens. Die Staaten haben wesentlichen Änderungen in ihrem Ansatz zur Streitbeilegung zugestimmt, u.a. mit einem Mindeststandard für die Beilegung abkommensbezogener Streitigkeiten. Sie haben sich zu dessen schneller Umsetzung sowie zur Gewährleistung einer wirksamen Implementierung durch Einrichtung eines stabilen Überwachungsmechanismus nach dem Peer-Review-Verfahren verpflichtet. Zudem hat sich eine große Gruppe von Staaten bereit erklärt, in ihren bilateralen Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen ein obligatorisches, verbindliches Schiedsverfahren vorzusehen, das die Beilegung abkommensbezogener Streitigkeiten innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitrahmens gewährleistet.

This report discusses key issues surrounding finance mobilisation for achieving Georgia’s climate change and green growth targets, and new investment opportunities for developing its capital market. The report focuses particularly on finance for climate change mitigation from various sources – private and public, national and international – but remains relevant for other issues around the country’s green growth agenda, such as energy productivity, air pollution prevention, climate change adaptation, better waste management, conservation of natural resources, and the technologies and innovations that help tackle these issues.

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of Viet Nam’s urban policies and analyses how national spatial planning for urban areas, along with specific sectoral policies, directly and indirectly affect Viet Nam’s urban development. It points to a number of policy areas which Viet Nam can tap into, in order to fully capitalise on the unique opportunities that its urbanisation process may bring about, including urban transport, housing, land, the quality of urban environment, and urban green growth. The review also assesses the efficiency and effectiveness of current urban governance arrangements, and makes recommendations for Viet Nam to develop an attractive and well-managed system of large and medium-sized cities, thereby contributing to achieving its sustainable development objectives.
Korea is often cited as a leading example of how sound economic policies can drive growth and development, blazing a trail from poverty to advanced industrialisation throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Building on its reputation as a development success, Korea now plays a highly valued role on the global stage, sharing its knowledge with others and helping to bridge the divide between developing and developed country interests. Among other issues, this review looks at how Korea shares its own impressive development experience with others and how it is dealing with key challenges in co-ordinating grants and loans across government. It also explores how Korea is expanding its aid programme to work on new priorities such as assistance to fragile and crisis-affected countries.
This report highlights the latest trends in government innovation. The topics identified through this review are not the only trends and examples in government innovation, but they do provide a glimpse of where government innovation stands today and where it may be going tomorrow.

This report, undertaken within the framework of the OECD Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth initiative, assesses inclusive growth trends and challenges in the Seoul metropolitan area. The analysis goes beyond income to assess the barriers faced by specific groups - non-regular workers, youth, women, the elderly and migrants - across four dimensions: education, labour market, housing and the urban environment, and infrastructure and public services. The study then takes a closer look at two major policy efforts by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to advance inclusive growth. The study analyses the city’s efforts to ensure that strategies to address climate change also protect and benefit the most vulnerable populations, notably through the Promise of Seoul, which puts citizen welfare and social inclusion at the heart of the city’s efforts to tackle climate change. The study also assesses the efforts of city authorities to level the playing field for small firms and entrepreneurs through its Economic Democratisation Agenda.
The Fifth International Nuclear Emergency Exercise (INEX-5) was developed in response to NEA member countries' desire to test and demonstrate the value of changes put in place following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. INEX-5 was held during 2015 and 2016, and was followed by the Fifth International Nuclear Emergency Exercise (INEX-5) Workshop in early 2017. Representatives from 22 member countries, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the European Commission attended the workshop, where participants identified elements emerging from INEX-5 that would help improve international and national arrangements for notification, communication and interfaces related to catastrophic events involving radiation or radiological materials.
The workshop was an interactive experience structured around invited presentations, moderated discussions and breakout groups that addressed the four broad topics of communication and information sharing with other countries and international partners; cross-border and international co-ordination of protective actions; mid- and long-term aspects of recovery; and connections with the work of other international organisations and networks. These proceedings provide a summary of the proposals and recommendations for future work in emergency management.

Estonian agriculture has undergone significant growth and structural change since the 1990s in a policy and regulatory environment that has been mostly supportive of investment. The implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy has contributed to the modernisation of the country's agriculture, leading to high productivity growth with relatively limited environmental pressure. High educational levels and strong public research institutions have also provided a fertile environment for innovation in Estonia, although Estonian agri-food companies struggle to participate in food and agricultural research activities. Attracting and retaining people in the agriculture sector at a time of growing labour and skills shortages in rural areas is an increasing challenge. Further innovation and adaptation will be needed to sustain and expand agriculture and food in Estonia.
2030 지속가능발전의제(2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development)와 아디스아바바행동의제(Addis Ababa Action Agenda)를 채택함에 따라 OECD 국가를 포함한 모든 UN 회원국은 “모든 수준에서 모든 행위자가 지속가능한 발전을 위한 정책 일관성과 유리한 환경을 추구”하기로 약속했다. 지속가능발전목표(SDG)에는 “지속가능한 발전을 위한 정책 일관성(PCSD)을 강화”하는 이행 수단에 대한 세부 목표(17:14)가 포함되어 있다.
정책 일관성을 강화하는 것은 효과적인 거버넌스뿐 아니라 국제 개발 달성의 지속적인 도전과제이다. 주로 OECD의 개발원조위원회(Development Assistance Committee, DAC) 회원국 정부는 상충하는 정책 목표와 이해관계를 조정하고 관리하는 제도적 메커니즘과 절차를 마련함으로써 이러한 문제를 해결하려고 했다. “PCD 구성요소”로 알려진 이러한 메커니즘에는 i) 약속 이행에 기여하는 정치적 의지와 정책 선언문, ii) 정책 간의 충돌이나 불일치를 해결할 수 있는 정책 조정, 그리고 iii) 의사결정에 정보를 제공하기 위해 정책 영향을 모니터링, 분석, 보고하는 시스템이 포함된다. 이러한 메커니즘의 목적은 국내외 정책이 개발도상국의 개발 목표를 지원하거나 적어도 약화시키지 않도록 보장하는 것이다.
그러나 20년 넘게PCD를 추진해온 결과, PCD를 위한 제도적 메커니즘이 시작점에 불과하다는 사실이 점점 분명해지고 있다. 제도적 메커니즘은 SDG 맥락에서도 관련이 있지만, 새로운 의제의 비전과 요구에 효과적으로 대응하려면 바뀌어야 한다. 이러한 메커니즘은 i) 외교, 개발 부처, 그리고 원조 기관을 넘어서 범정부적인 참여를 이끌어내고, ii) 부문별 정책 간(정책 갈등, 상충관계, 시너지효과) 그리고 국내외 정책 간의 다양한 상호작용을 관리할 수 있는 권한과 역량을 갖추며, iii) 사전, 시행 중, 사후에 정책 영향을 체계적으로 고려하고, iv) 주요 이해관계자, 특히 CSO와 민간부문을 참여시키며, v) 모니터링 및 보고 시스템을 강화하기 위해 국가 역량을 동원해야 할 것이다.
‘민간부문의 지속가능한 개발 참여: 개발원조위원회에서 얻은 교훈’은 DAC 회원국의 경험을 활용하여 새롭게 나타나고 있는 동향과 모범사례, 교훈을 확인합니다. DAC 회원국은 다양한 동료학습 결과 보고서를 시기적절하게 기고하며, 민간부문을 참여시키기 위한 방법을 확장, 개선, 통합합니다. 이 보고서와 관련 자료는 실제 경험과 최신 증거에 바탕을 두고 있으며, 민간부문 참여의 정치, 정책 및 제도적 기반을 살펴보고 민간부문 참여방안을 포트폴리오로 구성하여 관리하기 위한 지침을 제공합니다. 또한, 위험을 최소화하고 결과를 실현할 수 있는 실무방안을 공유합니다
