At their High-Level Meeting (HLM) in 2020, members of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) set out a number of commitments and aspirations to align development co-operation with the objectives of international agreements to fight climate change and protect the environment. One year later, this report documents the individual and collective steps taken to give effect to the four voluntary commitments set out in the HLM Communiqué. It provides information on provisions and actions taken by DAC members to systematically integrate international environment and climate goals into development co-operation, to pursue more coordinated approaches, to support the transition of developing countries towards sustainable development pathways, and to better address the particular needs of Small Island Developing States.

Foreword
A transition towards environmentally sustainable, low-emissions and climate-resilient development pathways is a critical component of all countries’ ability to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This challenge is prompting new approaches to aligning international development co‑operation with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and other international agreements. As such, all development co‑operation providers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to strengthen their efforts to better support development partners in this transition by adopting new commitments, strategies and tools.
