The annual OECD Green Growth and Sustainable Development Forum is open to a wide range of stakeholders and experts from governments, international organisations, civil society, academics and the private sector. It aims to identify knowledge gaps and promote new initiatives to effectively address them. Each year, it focuses on a different cross-cutting issue related to sustainable development and green growth.
The 2026 OECD Green Growth and Sustainable Development (GGSD) Forum focuses on the economics of climate adaptation. Across six sessions, the Forum will explore how adaptation investments can generate economic benefits beyond avoided losses. It will also explore how adaptation gets integrated in public and private decision making and mainstreamed across economic sectors, discussing the role of businesses and nature in driving progress and the job implications of adaptation action.
