Aligning Climate and Sustainable Development Finance

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the alignment between climate-related official development assistance (ODA), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of recipient countries.

• The authors analyze climate-related official development assistance (ODA) both before and after the adoption of the Paris Agreement to determine how it supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and whether donors align this funding with the climate-related priorities of recipient countries as defined in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
• The research indicates a reduction in misalignment with the climate activities of recipient countries' NDCs, noting that these countries place a greater emphasis on adaptation than on mitigation.
• The paper identifies existing coherence, gaps, and opportunities for aligning climate and development finance, arguing that such alignment is necessary to increase the probability of implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement while ensuring actions are based on the needs of recipient countries.
