Gift Description
TRAVEL: On this 3-month detail to the OECD Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Development Division in Paris, France, the work was to systematically compare policy approaches to address competitiveness and leakage under climate change policy. Travel and living expenses in the amount of approximately $10,550 was paid by OECD. Bella Tonkonogy served on detail to the OECD Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Development Division in the Environment Directorate. The outcome was a report or policy brief for circulation at the UNFCCC meeting in Cancun in December 2010. EPA benefits from participation in this detail by interacting with experts from OECD and member countries in climate policy and competitiveness, advancing dialogue on these topics, and affirming and improving EPA's expertise in this arena. Coordinated international efforts, particularly on emission leakage, led to greater environmental benefits at lower cost. Rec'd--9/ 18/2010--1/2/2011. Est. Value--$10,550.00.
