The OECD ministerial summit discussed the economic impact of climate change, rising food prices and a broad range of other trade, growth and development issues. Ministers also addressed food-price inflation and its linkages to broader issues such as alternative fuels, climate change and impacts on distribution of income and growth within economies.
