Tackling Poverty and Inequalities through the Green Transition
Faced with multiple priorities, including the imperative of accelerating the global
green transition, development co-operation providers are at risk of losing sight of
a silent, yet devastating crisis that has been unfolding even before the COVID-19
pandemic: the alarming increase of poverty and inequalities in low and middle-income
countries. And yet, not only are ending poverty and reducing inequalities at the core
of their mandates, both are also essential to meeting their broader ambitions in terms
of sustainable development worldwide. What opportunities – and risks – is the climate
priority posing for the fight against poverty and inequality? Can just, green transitions
reinvigorate development agendas? How can international development co-operation policy
and finance help? Bringing together the latest evidence, data and insights from governments,
academia, international organisations and civil society, the OECD Development Co-operation
Report 2024 provides policy makers with concrete ways of delivering on their commitments
to improve the lives of billions while fostering green, just transitions around the
world.
