Description
This session will present the main findings from recent OECD work on the green transition of SMEs and green entrepreneurship, including new indicators on the environmental footprint of SMEs and policy experiences from a wide range of OECD countries.
After this introduction, the session will take a deep dive on the experience of selected Latin American countries and their approaches to SME greening policies. It will cover both climate mitigation - such as industry decarbonisation and reduced material consumption - and climate adaption, including enhanced SME resilience in the face of climate change.
This session will also provide an opportunity to launch a new OECD project in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), aimed at assessing SME greening policies in Brazil and Colombia.
