The biennial flagship Global Outlook on Financing for Sustainable Development provides a comprehensive analysis of major trends impacting the global financial system and financing for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA). The report addresses the interconnected crises hindering progress towards the 2030 Agenda, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, rising inequalities, fragility and the growing financial gaps in developing countries. By offering multidisciplinary insights, it highlights the interdependence of economic and social systems and the urgency of collective action for fairer, inclusive global growth.
The Outlook serves as a critical resource for development co-operation providers by raising the importance of new systemic challenges, fostering policy coherence for sustainable development and demystifying the complexity of emerging co-operation actors and financial modalities. Through its evidence-based recommendations, it aims to help the OECD and its members shape the international response to development challenges, as custodians of norms and standards for sustainable development finance.
