Global Outlook on Financing for Sustainable Development 2025
OECD
Abstract
This edition of the Global Outlook aims to help negotiators prepare for the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development to be held in Seville in 2025, a once-in-a-decade opportunity to renew the global financing framework for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.To that end, the report provides the first comprehensive review of the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA): drawing on the latest evidence, it takes stock of ten years of progress – and setbacks – against quantitative and qualitative targets across its seven action areas: domestic public resources; private business and finance; international development co-operation; trade; science, technology and innovation; debt; and systemic issues. On that basis, the Outlook identifies strategies for walking the crest line between ambition and realism in Seville, ramping up sustainable financing prospects through financial and policy innovation, including scaling up new sustainable assets, in the context of global economic decoupling, and escalating climate and social challenges.
