Tackling Poverty and Inequalities through the Green Transition

image of Development Co-operation Report 2024

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.

Lessons for gender-responsive nationally determined contributions

The Paris Agreement calls for gender equality and women’s empowerment to be among the guiding principles of climate action. The process of developing new nationally determined contributions (NDCs) offers an important opportunity to incorporate gender considerations more thoroughly into national climate commitments and long-term plans. Drawing on the experience of the NDC Partnership, including in Burkina Faso and Cambodia, this chapter explores good practices around inclusive design and implementation of the nationally determined contributions and suggests how development partners can best support countries to align their NDCs with development priorities and make them attentive to gender equality, just transitions, intergenerational equity and human rights.
