OECD Urges Transparency on Incentives For Renewables to Avoid Trade Distortion

摘要

Countries should be completely transparent about domestic incentives for renewable energies to avoid the harm to international trade that these measures can sometimes cause, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said in a report released July 8. The 100-page document, Domestic Incentive Measures for Renewable Energy with Possible Trade Implications, said that in the past 20 years, as countries' climate change mitigation policies and incentives have boosted manufacturing of renewable energy technologies, competition in this sector has become "truly global," with a rapid rise in international investment and trade in related goods and services.
