This workshop will highlight the challenges and opportunities to productivity growth of managing the twin transition. Transitioning the economy from fossil fuels towards clean energy sources is a major policy challenge at the core of the green transition. At the same time, advances in digital technologies are rapidly changing production processes for goods and services across different sectors in the economy. These have critical implications in terms of productivity and ultimately economic growth. The workshop will draw on recent outputs from the OECD under the MapProdIGIS project (Microdata analysis for Policies for Productivity, Innovation, Growth, Inclusion and Sustainability), supported by the European Commission. It will present latest evidence from two of the key pillars of the project: technology adoption and diffusion, and sustainability. The workshop will conclude with a policy panel to better understand how policy makers can ensure a twin transition that best harnesses economic growth.*** This is hybrid event ***

The importance of sustainable finance in today’s economic landscape cannot be over-stated, as it intersects economic prosperity, environmental preservation, and societal well-being. There is a growing consensus that the global economy is inseparably linked to the health and vitality of our environment and that our socio-economic dependency on the environment and its ecosystems can lead to vulnerabilities. At the same time that human and business activities pose significant threats to planetary resources, sectors like oil and gas, food, forestry, insurance, and real estate are particularly susceptible to risks arising from regulatory changes, shifts in agricultural productivity, and depletion of natural resources. The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) —a key player in linking environmental challenges with economic risks— co-organises, together with the The Accounting and Finance Group at the University of Padua, the "Sustainable finance, the way forward" workshop: an event that aims to prompt a reflection over questions, issues and inquiries about opportunities and challenges in sustainable finance, focusing on key areas including measurement and reporting, valuation, policies, and markets.More info, paper submission and registration

We live today in an age of fast societal transformation, where humans are having far-reaching impacts on planet earth.At the eve of a new Commission, the launch event of the Atlas of the Human Planet 2024 will be an occasion to discuss the tensions between the need for sustainable development of the global South while staying within the planetary boundaries.The geography of humans on the planet defines many issues of security, environment, economics and equality. The diversity of cities and rural areas also offers models for the change necessary to adapt to a changing climate and geopolitical landscape.Knowing where people live and work is of key importance for efforts to address major current and future societal challenges. Realising these efforts presupposes that we have access to detailed information on human settlements and population, and that information must be global.This demand for information is addressed by the JRC's Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) spatial database, which includes the key variables of population density, built-up surface, and settlement types, the latter including cities, towns and semi-dense areas, and rural areas.

This workshop will explore how clear language makes written documents more accessible for everyone, particularly when it comes to various products and services.
