The triple planetary crisis - climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution - poses a significant threat to society, the environment and the economy. These challenges are deeply interconnected and often reinforce one another, magnifying their cumulative impacts. At the same time, this interdependence also creates opportunities for a synergistic approach through integrated policy responses that address all three challenges simultaneously. Cities are well positioned to harness this potential through place-based policies.
With support from the Japan Ministry of the Environment, the OECD is conducting research on how public policies can foster local environmental synergies. This work is part of the OECD Work Programme on a Territorial Approach to Climate Action and Resilience (TACAR).
This session will bring together a diverse group of cities that are implementing synergistic approaches to environmental projects and policies. It aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and mutual leaning based on real-world experiences. Insights from the discussion will help identify key success factors for integrated local environmental action and help guide both national and local policy efforts. Outcomes from the event will inform global leaders, policymakers and experts at COP30 by highlighting the critical role of local climate action in addressing the triple planetary crisis.
