Guía temática de la OCDE para la elaboración de una oferta de Sellos

Verdes

¿Qué es la OCDE?

La Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) es una

organización internacional que trabaja para orientar a los países del mundo, en la
construcción y diseño de políticas públicas políticas para lograr un mejor desarrollo social,
ambiental y económico. Por ello, entre académicos y profesionales vinculados con la OCDE,
la organización se ha ganado el apodo de “la universidad de los gobiernos”, pues se ha
convertido durante sus 60 años de existencia, en una fuente de conocimiento en diferentes
ramas temáticas, que tienen que ver tanto con lo público como con lo privado.

Junto con los gobiernos, tomadores de decisiones y las organizaciones de sociedad civil, la
OCDE construye estándares internacionales basados en datos y evidencia científica,
conocidos como buenas prácticas de gobierno, con las cuales los estados pueden monitorear
su desempeño político y administrativo en diferentes ámbitos. Así mismo, también se
plantean soluciones a los problemas más relevantes de la actualidad internacional (ver
Imagen 1).

Imágen 1: Esquema de Trabajo de la OCDE

FUENTE: (OCDE, 2022)

La organización trabaja en más de 25 áreas temáticas que abordan temas de innovación
digital, competitividad, lucha contra la corrupción, ambiente y lucha contra el Cambio
Climático, economía, educación y desarrollo sostenible, entre otros.

Esta organización, a diferencia de otras organizaciones internacionales, es de participación

exclusiva y exige ciertos parámetros a los países que desean ser admitidos. El 25 de mayo
de 2021, Costa Rica se convirtió oficialmente en el miembro número 38 de la OCDE, después
de casi nueve años de negociaciones y evaluaciones para ser parte de la Organización como
país miembro.

Por lo tanto, para los actores políticos y sociales del país, así como para el sector académico,
es de vital importancia estar en constante revisión de las actualizaciones e investigaciones de
la OCDE. Promover un acercamiento activo a lo que ahí se dictamina implica, no solo una
práctica constante de actualización profesional, sino también una enorme oportunidad de
conocer y emular, las buenas prácticas y políticas de las economías más sólidas del mundo.
Por ello, contar con una oferta de sellos verdes alineada con las temáticas y más recientes
investigaciones de la OCDE, significa brindar a nuestros estudiantes una ventana de
conocimiento innovadora y a la vanguardia internacional. Además, contribuye con la
consecución de los objetivos que se ha planteado el país al ser miembro de la Organización.

Acerca de esta guía

En esta guía se plantean tres áreas temáticas por cada carrera, que podrían dar origen a
un evento tipo sello verde, así como otras iniciativas académicas. Todas las áreas temáticas
han sido seleccionadas a partir de una revisión exhaustiva de las últimas investigaciones de
la OCDE, así como de las áreas permanentes de trabajo de la Organización y sus países
miembro. Cada tema, además, presenta un breve párrafo que describe en qué consiste la
temática sugerida, y cómo es abordada desde la óptica de la Organización, por lo que en
muchos casos el texto es una copia literal de los recursos disponibles en el sitio web de la
OCDE.
El motivo por el cual todos los temas están en inglés es porque la mayoría de recursos
disponibles en ese idioma y en francés, que son los oficiales de la Organización.
Finalmente, después de la lista con los temas sugeridos, hay una sección de recursos con
hipervínculos que dirigen a sitios de interés para desarrollar cada uno de los temas, ya sean
secciones de página web, o publicaciones científicas.

Temario

Carrera Temas
Administración 1. Blockchain and competition policy: Where the internet
de Negocios enabled the publishing and digital transfer of information,
blockchain technology authenticates the ownership of assets,
makes them traceable, and facilitates their digital transfer. It
therefore allows direct trading of assets by providing trust in
the transaction and reducing uncertainty (through its use of
trustworthy self-executing code). Viewed from a competition
policy perspective this might create both opportuntities to
enhance competition and efficiency and risks of
anticompetitive conduct.
2. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) for SME Financing: Initial Coin
Offerings (ICOs) consist of the creation of digital tokens by
small companies to investors, in exchange for fiat currency or
first-generation dominant cryptocurrencies, such as the
Bitcoin. Financing sources allow SMEs to fulfil their role, and it
is therefore important for SMEs to have access to multiple
financing sources both under normal market conditions and in
periods of financial stress.
3. Responsible business conduct and climate change: Achieving
the goals of the Paris Agreement requires collective action
from governments and non-state actors, in particular, the
private sector. For business, this means i) reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thereby the adverse
climate related impacts of their operations on people and the
planet; and ii) strengthening the resilience of companies and
their supply chains in order to address and adapt to climate
change - including impacts on workers, local communities and
the natural environment.
Inteligencia de 1. The Impact of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the
Negocios y Insurance Sector: As big data and AI (also called machine
Gestión de la learning) are increasing being employed in the insurance
Información sector, the great benefits that are expected also come with
risks. The granularity of data has the potential to give insights
into a variety of predictable behaviours and incidents. Given
 that insurance is based on predicting how risk is realised,
having access to big data has the potential to transform the
entire insurance production process.
2. Competition Policy in the Digital Age: adapting analytical
tools to digital markets.
3. Data governance: Enhancing access to and sharing of data:
Access to and sharing of data are increasingly critical for
fostering data-driven scientific discovery and innovations
across the private and public sectors globally and will play a
role in solving societal challenges, including fighting COVID-19
and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But
restrictions to data access, sometimes compounded by a
reluctance to share, and a growing awareness of the risks that
come with data access and sharing, means economies and
societies are not harnessing the full potential of data. Adopted
in October 2021, the OECD Recommendation on Enhancing
Access to and Sharing of Data (EASD) is the first internationally
agreed upon set of principles and policy guidance on how
governments can maximize the cross-sectoral benefits of all
types of data – personal, non-personal, open, proprietary,
public and private – while protecting the rights of individuals
and organizations.
Contaduría 1. Digitalization and Financial Literacy: With the unprecedented
pace of technological change and the proliferation of Digital
Financial Services (DFS) around the world, the need to
strengthen financial and digital literacy is an important
component of the international policy agenda. Financial
education, financial consumer protection and financial
inclusion are globally recognized as essential ingredients for
the financial empowerment of individuals and the overall
stability of the financial system, as enshrined in a series of
high-level principles approved by G20 leaders.
2. Taxing Virtual Currencies: An Overview of Tax Treatments
and Emerging Tax Policy Issues: Crypto-assets, and virtual
currencies, are in rapid development and tax policymakers are
still at an early stage in considering their implications. So far,
the tax policy and evasion implications have been largely
unexplored, although forming an important aspect of the
overall regulatory framework.
3. Tax Avoidance: the work of the Joint International Taskforce
on Shared Intelligence and Collaboration: The JITSIC brings
together 42 of the world's national tax administrations that
have committed to more effective and efficient ways to deal
with tax avoidance. It offers a platform to enable its members
 to actively collaborate within the legal framework of effective
bilateral and multilateral conventions and tax information
exchange agreements – sharing their experience, resources
and expertise to tackle the issues they face in common.

Derecho 1. Fighting bid rigging in public procurement: Bid rigging

involves groups of firms conspiring to raise prices or lower the
quality of the goods or services offered in public tenders.
Although illegal, this anti-competitive practice continues to
cost governments and taxpayers billions of dollars every year
across OECD countries. OECD countries spend approximately
12% of their GDP in public procurement. This percentage can
be higher in developing countries. The elimination of bid
rigging could help reduce procurement prices by 20% or more.
2. The New OECD Employment Protection Legislation Indicators
for Temporary Contracts: The OECD indicators of employment
protection legislation evaluate the regulations on the dismissal
of workers on regular contracts and the hiring of workers on
temporary contracts. They cover both individual and
collective dismissals. The indicators have been compiled using
the Secretariat’s own reading of statutory laws, collective
bargaining agreements and case law as well as contributions
from officials from OECD member countries and advice from
country experts.
3. Competition Policy in the Digital Age: competition law
remedies in digital markets.
Economía 1. Transition Finance: Transition finance means any form of
Empresarial financial support that helps high-carbon companies start to
implement long-term changes to become greener. It bridges
the gap between traditional and sustainable financing as
businesses begin the journey to net zero.
2. The OECD Going for Growth framework for prioritization of
structural reforms: Going for Growth uses quantitative and
qualitative insights to identify the five top structural reform
priorities to boost medium-term economic growth in an
inclusive and sustainable way. In addition, it formulates
recommendations on how to address these priorities and
tracks actions taken.
3. The Financial Sector & Inclusive Growth: Finance is a vital
ingredient of economic growth, but there can be too much of
it. Over the past 50 years, credit by banks and other
institutions to households and businesses has grown three
times as fast as economic activity. At these levels, further
 expansion is likely to slow long-term growth and raise
inequality
Ingeniería 1. Artificial Inteligence & Health: The potential for AI in health is
Biomédica profound. From clinical uses in diagnostics and treatment, to
biomedical research and drug discovery, to “back-office” and
administration, it would seem there is almost no facet of
health care provision and management where AI cannot be
applied. The number of potential applications is growing every
day.
2. Nanomaterials, nanotechnology and biomedicine:
Nanomaterials are up to 10 000 times smaller than the width
of a human hair and are found in many products from paints
to cosmetics. Yet they may have a big impact on our everyday
life. So what is so special about nanomaterials? Nanomaterials
may have different properties compared to the same
substance in bulk form. That means that a material could
change when it goes from bulk to nanoform, but at what size
that happens varies depending on the substance. Just like any
other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed
for their safety using appropriate tools and methodologies.
3. Governance and Human Rights of Biomedicine Technology:
Important human rights challenges are emerging through
established practices in the field of biomedicine. Changes in
the perception of the decision-making capacity in children,
persons with mental health difficulties, and vulnerable older
persons, are prompting reconsideration of the balance
between protection and respect for autonomy.
Ingeniería en 1. Technology Governance: Technological innovation is a major
Circuitos y engine of human well-being and economic activity. However,
Sistemas technology raises concerns for individuals and societies, as
Electrónicos witnessed in previous waves of technological change in
industry and in current debates around artificial intelligence,
nuclear power, gene editing and social media. Reaping the
benefits of emerging technologies while preventing or
mitigating potential negative effects, is a critical challenge for
Science Technology and Innovation (STI) policy.
2. Technology transforming agriculture: The world’s first
entirely machine-operated crop – a crop sown and tended
without a human ever entering the field – was harvested in
2017, a milestone in digital agriculture, sometimes known as
“smart farming”, or “e-agriculture”.Digital technologies—
including the Internet, mobile technologies and devices, data
analytics, artificial intelligence, digitally-delivered services and
apps—are changing agriculture and the food system. Examples
 abound at different stages of the agri-food value chain: farm
machinery automation allows fine-tuning of inputs and
reduces demand for manual labour; remote satellite data and
in-situ sensors improve the accuracy and reduce the cost of
monitoring crop growth and quality of land or water; and
traceability technologies and digital logistics services offer the
potential to streamline agri-food supply chains, while also
providing trusted information for consumers.
3. Smart Cities: Over the past two decades, “smart cities” have
proliferated around the globe as a way to build more efficient
and liveable urban environments. Initially, the concept of
“smart cities” was largely supply-driven, with the private
sector taking the lead in defining both the problem and the
solution. The time has come to take stock of these
experimentations! Are smart cities just a buzzword, or do they
really deliver better opportunities and well-being for all
residents?
Ingeniería 1. Digital Productivity: Digital technologies are transforming our
Industrial economies and seem to offer a vast potential to enhance the
productivity of firms. However, despite ongoing digitalisation,
productivity growth has declined sharply across OECD
countries over the past decades. The productivity slowdown
has multiple and partly interlinked causes, some related to the
global financial crisis and its aftermath (e.g. reduced credit
availability affecting investment) and some more structural,
such as a decline in business dynamism and the poor
performance of low-productivity firms.
2. Best Available Techniques (BAT) to Prevent and Control
Industrial Pollution: All over the world, different policies and
practices are being implemented to prevent and control
industrial emissions in order to ensure a high level of
environmental and human health protection. Many of these
policies incorporate the concept of best available techniques
(BAT) to establish evidence-based environmental permit
conditions for industrial installations. However, consideration
of value chain aspects in the determination of BAT is not a
systematic practice. The OECD report on Value chain
approaches to determining Best Available Techniques (BAT) for
industrial installations demonstrates that more systematic
consideration of value chain aspects in the BAT determination
process can help mitigate overall environmental impacts.
3. Resilient Supply Chains: COVID-19 has placed significant
strains on supply chains, with serious implications for
international trade and investment. This experience
 demonstrates that international supply chains will continue to
be subjected to unexpected disruptions. Citizens around the
world will continue to demand that governments take steps to
ensure security of supply, and policy makers will need policy
solutions that address these expectations without resorting to
beggar-thy-neighbour measures.

Ingeniería 1. Digital Security vs. Cybersecurity: Digital security refers to the

Informática economic and social aspects of cybersecurity, as opposed to
purely technical aspects and those related to criminal law
enforcement or national and international security. The term
“digital” is consistent with expressions such as digital
economy, digital transformation and digital technologies. It
forms a basis for constructive international dialogue between
stakeholders seeking to foster trust and maximise
opportunities from ICTs.
2. OECD Recommendation on Blockchain and other DLT:
Blockchain and its underlying distributed ledger technology
have the potential to fundamentally transform a wide range of
industries and markets. The Global Blockchain Policy Centre is
exploring the benefits and risks of blockchain for economies
and societies, beginning to identify good policy and regulatory
approaches, and investigating uses in specific policy areas.
3. Children in the digital environment: Children today spend an
increasing part of their lives online: since 2011, the number of
12- to 15-year-olds who own smartphones has increased by
more than 50%. The digital environment offers tremendous
benefits to children, opening new channels for education,
creativity and social interaction. But it also presents serious
risks, including cyberbullying, sextortion and risks to privacy.
These risks have become particularly acute amid the COVID-19
crisis and the surge in screen time it has precipitated.

Ingeniería 1. Development co-operation and sound management of

Química chemicals: The Chemicals Committee in its vision for
Industrial contributing to the OECD Development Strategy aims to
promote a better integration of chemical safety into
development co-operation and to raise awareness about the
major role of OECD as a knowledge-sharing organisation on
sound chemicals management for all countries, whatever their
stage of development.
2. The OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP):
The Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) are a
managerial quality control system covering the organisational
 process and the conditions under which non-clinical health
and environmental studies are planned, performed,
monitored, recorded, reported and retained (or archived). The
OECD Principles of GLP are followed by test facilities carrying
out studies to be submitted to receiving authorities for the
purposes of assessing the health and environmental safety of
chemicals and chemical products which may also be of natural
or biological origin and, in some circumstances, may be living
organisms.
3. Global Inventory of Pollutant Releases: A Pollutant Release
and Transfer Register (PRTR) is a publicly accessible database
or inventory of chemicals or pollutants released to air, water
and soil and transferred off-site for treatment. It brings
together information about which chemicals are being
released, where, how much and by whom.

PRTRs typically require facility owners or operators who

release chemicals (e.g., in such industries as manufacturing
and mining) to quantify their releases and to report them to
governments on a regular basis.
Ingeniería en 1. Risks from Natural Hazards at Hazardous Installations:
Seguridad Natural hazards such as earthquakes and floods can initiate
Laboral y events which challenge the safety and operation at hazardous
Ambiental installations. Accidents triggered by such events are known as
‘Natech’ - Natural Hazards Triggering Technological
Accidents. Many natural disasters have led to major damages
to hazardous installations, releases of hazardous substances,
fires and explosions, resulting in potential health effects,
environmental pollution, and economic losses. These impacts
can also have a transboundary dimension. Natural hazards
considered minor, such as lightning or freeze, have also been
found to cause Natech accidents.
2. Agricultural pesticides risk reduction: The OECD Pesticide
Risk Reduction Project aims to promote pesticide risk
reduction and sustainable pest management. It encourages
the development, adoption and implementation of advanced
sustainable pest management strategies and policies,
including risk reduction policies/practices and alternative
approaches to the use of chemicals, as well as improved risk
management and compliance/enforcement activities (in
particular via the use of new pesticides with lower risk
properties, of bio-pesticides and the adoption and
implementation of IPM).
 3. RE-CIRCLE: resource efficiency and circular economy: In the
last century we have seen an unprecedented increase in the
use of natural resources and materials. Global raw material
use rose at almost twice the rate of population growth. The
OECD finds that efficient use of resources and furthering the
transition to a circular economy can help not only material
security, but improve environmental and economic outcomes
as well. The OECD RE-CIRCLE project provides policy guidance
on resource efficiency and the transition to a circular economy
and aims to identify and quantify the impact of policies to
guide a range of stakeholders in OECD member countries and
emerging market economies through quantitative and
qualitative analysis.
Psicología 1. Fitter Minds, fitter Jobs: mental health and works: Tackling
mental ill-health of the working-age population is a key issue
for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD
governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major
role to play in keeping people with mental health problems in
employment and helping them to perform at work, in bringing
those outside of the labour market into it or back to it, and in
preventing mental illness at all ages including youth and
adolescence.
2. Ageing and long-term care: As people get older, it becomes
more likely that they will need day-to-day help with activities
such as washing and dressing, or help with household
activities such as cleaning and cooking. This type of support
(along with some types of medical care) is what is called long-
term care. Demand for long-term care is expected to rise,
thanks in part to ageing populations and increasing prevalence
of long-term conditions such as dementia. The OECD has been
at the forefront of analysis on long-term care since 2005,
reviewing and providing best practices on LTC key issues.
3. Tackling social and environmental problems with the Help of
Behavioural Insights: An inductive approach to policy making
that combines insights from psychology, cognitive science, and
social science with empirically-tested results to discover how
humans actually make choices.
Since 2013, OECD has been at the forefront of supporting
public institutions who are applying behavioural insights to
improving public policy.
Educación 1. Artificial Inteligence & Education: Digital technologies such as
artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and other
advances in information and computer technology (ICT)
provide opportunities to improve the education process. The
 education technology industry, often simply referred to as
‘EdTech’, is growing, with massive investments in countries
such as China, the United States and India. It develops a wide
range of digital solutions for education institutions and
stakeholders, from online platforms to robots and smart
devices.
2. Pisa Creative Thinking: The PISA assessment examines
students’ capacities to generate diverse and original ideas, and
to evaluate and improve ideas, across a range of contexts or
‘domains’. The assessment includes four domains: written
expression, visual expression, social problem solving and
scientific problem solving. In each of these domains, students
engage with open tasks that have no single correct response.
They are either asked to provide multiple, distinct responses,
or to generate a response that is not conventional. These
responses can take the form of a solution to a problem, of a
creative text or of a visual artefact.
3. Future of Education and Skills 2030: How can we prepare
students for jobs that have not yet been created, to tackle
societal challenges that we can’t yet imagine, and to use
technologies that have not yet been invented? How can we
equip them to thrive in an interconnected world where they
need to understand and appreciate different perspectives and
world views, interact respectfully with others, and take
responsible action towards sustainability and collective well-
being? Recognising the urgent need to open a global
discussion about education, in 2015 the OECD launched the
Future of Education and Skills 2030 project. The project aims
to set goals and develop a common language for teaching and
learning.
Publicidad 1. Youth entrepreneurship: Few young individuals believe they
have the skills to become entrepreneurs. Overall, 36.3% of
youth (18-30 years old) reported that they had the skills and
knowledge to start a business during the period 2013-17.
More precisely, this skills gap can be described as lack of skills
in the areas of opportunity recognition, business planning,
financial management, sales and marketing.
2. Competition in Digital Advertising Markets: Digital advertising
is now the leading form of advertising in most, if not all, OECD
countries, and offers businesses the ability to reach individual
consumers in ways that could only have been imagined
previously. Increased Internet coverage and mobile phone
penetration has fundamentally changed the ability of
advertisers to reach a broad range of consumers at almost any
 time of the day and in any context through digital advertising.
In addition, developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning, coupled with the stores of personal data
available online, have allowed for cost-effective targeted
advertising at scale.
3. Promoting sustainable consumption: how can advertising and
marketing can influence consumption behaviors to tackle the
climate crisis.
Relaciones 1. Innovation in Development Cooperation: Over the past two
Internacionales decades, levels of interest and investments in realising the
potential of innovation in international development and
humanitarian work have grown considerably. There are new
methods and tools, new teams and departments, new
collaborations and partnerships, and new principles and ways
of working. There is also a growing realisation that the sector
needs to do more than just ask for innovation: it needs to roll
up its sleeves and start doing innovation.
2. Civil Society Engagement in Development Co-operation. Civil
society is a key actor in the implementation of the sustainable
development goals (SDGs), as well as in the response to the
COVID-19 pandemic and recovery strategies. Yet, civil society
faces ever-growing challenges, such as shrinking civic space,
attacks against human rights, and rising autocratisation.
3. Aid for Trade: At the OECD and the Working Party of the Trade
Committee work together to help tackle the challenge of how
to make poorer countries benefit further from trade. The
OECD tracks the aid-for-trade flows and share good practice so
that developing countries can capitalise on the opportunities
of international trade.

Odontología 1. Artificial Inteligence & Health: The potential for AI in health is

profound. From clinical uses in diagnostics and treatment, to
biomedical research and drug discovery, to “back-office” and
administration, it would seem there is almost no facet of
health care provision and management where AI cannot be
applied. The number of potential applications is growing every
day.
2. Antimicrobial resistance: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a
complex issue of global concern with potentially dramatic
health and economic consequences. The OECD provides
countries with the evidence to implement effective and cost-
effective One Health policies to tackle AMR, promote effective
use of antimicrobials in human and animal health, strengthen
 infection prevention and control measures, and incentivise
research and development in the antibiotic sector.
3. Health workforce and the digital revolution: Digital
technologies offer unique opportunities to strengthen health
systems. However, the digital infrastructure only provide the
tools, which on their own cannot transform the health
systems, but need to be put to productive use by health
workers.
