OECD workshop on financing sustainable chemistry

The OECD workshop on sustainable chemistry will discuss enabling conditions, lessons, and financing approaches that could stimulate investment towards safer and more sustainable chemicals, building on experience from Green Finance and Investment (GFI) for climate mitigation and other environmental goals.

Governments, investors, industry stakeholders, civil society and financial institutions are invited to participate. 

The workshop will:

• Examine the current landscape, barriers and opportunities for investment in sustainable chemistry (with a focus on industrial and consumer chemicals).
• Draw lessons from green finance and investment (GFI) — particularly policies, financial instruments and enabling frameworks that have contributed to mobilising investment in climate mitigation.
• Identify policy levers, financial tools and institutional actions relevant to mobilising investment in sustainable chemistry.
• Highlight existing initiatives and investor perspectives demonstrating emerging momentum and gaps.
• Explore which enabling conditions for investment are currently in place and which require further development.
