International Financing of Development and Global Public Goods: Exploring Possible Metrics

Résumé 0

The globalization of sustainable development challenges (health crises, climate change, etc.) has not yet been followed by an equivalent push in terms of metrics, statistical accounting, and the promotion of incentives for governments to deliver their best possible contribution in terms of international cooperation. While the framework of public development aid has made it possible to compare the solidarity efforts of OECD countries, it no longer provides a sufficiently accurate picture of the funding devoted to global public goods. This article analyzes existing statistical frameworks and looks at various possibilities for better reflecting and structuring international financing for climate and, more generally, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
