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.

Iceland
Iceland, in co-operation with the other Nordic countries and other partners, has been at the front of the Build Back Better and Greener post-COVID-19 movement. Iceland’s commitment to aligning development policies and programmes with international climate and environment objectives is reflected in joint Nordic declarations and op-eds on the issue, including at the United Nations (UN), the World Bank and the OECD. This is also reflected in interventions and statements by the Icelandic Minister for Foreign Affairs and Development Co-operation over the last one and a half year.
