Development Co-operation Report 2024
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.

Indigenous peoples in the Amazon have long fought to protect their lands, forests, waters and their living beings – not just for their own sake but for the benefit of the entire planet. At the frontline of defending the Amazon, indigenous peoples have often risked their lives and been subject to persecution, criminalisation, threats, intimidation and assassinations. They now face the destruction of their cultures and livelihoods due to climate change, leading to cultural, spiritual and economic impoverishment and inequality.
