St. Patrick's Day

The OECD HQ was lit up in green to mark St. Patrick's Day 2015. This made the OECD the first international organisation in the world to "go green" as part of the annual 'Global Greening' campaign. The 'greening' took place in the presence of the Secretary general of the OECD, Angel Gurria, the Irish Ambassador to the OECD, Michael Forbes, as well as other OECD Ambassadors and OECD staff.
