OECD Green Talks : LIVE webinar | Materials use to 2060: Economic drivers and environmental consequences

The world’s consumption of raw materials is set to nearly double by 2060 as the global economy expands and living standards rise, placing twice the pressure on the environment than we are seeing today.

What economic mechanisms drive material use and how will this affect the environment?

We welcome you to join our team of experts from the OECD Environment Directorate on 18 February at 17:00 CET/11:00 EST for a Green Talks LIVE webinar to learn more about projections for materials use to 2060, the links with climate change and the policy implications for the circular economy and recycling. The talk will highlight findings from the recently published OECD report: Global Material Resources Outlook to 2060.

Duration: 1 hour (Presentation of 20-30 minutes followed by Q&A).

Register to hook into the livestream.
