This section of the chapter considers the importance of policy coherence between green growth, social and labour policies. Regressive distributional effects, which disproportionately impact the least well off in society, should be avoided. Ensuring the alignment and effectiveness of green growth policies requires understanding and addressing the distributional consequences at the household level and consideration of energy poverty (i.e., non-affordability of energy services) in developed and developing countries (OECD, 2014g).
