Objective
The Paris Collaborative on Green Budgeting is the first cross-country and cross-sectoral initiative to support governments in their efforts to “green” their fiscal policies and embed environmental sustainability commitments and green growth within budget and policy frameworks. “Greening” implies using national expenditure and revenue processes to support climate and environmental goals towards developing sustainable and resilient societies.
The objective of this side event is to discuss, disseminate and further develop new and innovative tools that provide practical assistance to governments in understanding the implications of the ecological transition for budgetary policy and fiscal sustainability. In particular, it aims to enable the exchange of existing best practices and to build partnerships to advocate for proposed reforms.
Background
One of the most important tools that policy makers have at their disposal for resourcing and implementing their ecological transition is budget and fiscal policy. It is therefore essential to establish clear connections between public finance and environmental impacts and to evaluate and improve the consistency of public finance flows with national and international environmental goals.
To assist governments in doing so, the OECD, with the support of France and Mexico, launched the “Paris Collaborative on Green Budgeting”
at the One Planet Summit in December 2017. The work of the Collaborative plays a clear role in providing the necessary incentives for action in achieving policy coherence with the SDGs as well as strengthening the (financial) means of their implementation - as highlighted in SDG 17.
