Integrating Environmental and Climate Action into Development Co-operation
Reporting on DAC Members’ High-Level Meeting Commitments
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.

Italy
The Italian Law No. 125/2014 on international development co-operation provides in Art. 1 that one of the fundamental objectives pursued by Italy’s development co-operation is the promotion of sustainable development, in compliance with the international programmes and strategies defined by international organisations and by the European Union. This principle is reflected in the three-year Programming and Policy Planning Document (PPPD) (2019-21) and policy guidance, whereby Italian Development Co‑operation action is committed to helping reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), making “Planet” one of its pillars and focussing on populations at risk of being left behind. The PPPD is currently under review and the 2021-23 edition will prioritise the alignment of post-COVID-19 development action with environmental and climate objectives.
