Government at a Glance 2023
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, public procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

Delivering environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure
The magnitude and urgency of the climate crisis calls for a new holistic approach to infrastructure planning and delivery. Achieving net-zero emissions in 2050 will require global annual investment in the energy sector investment to rise from USD 2.3 trillion in recent years to USD 5 trillion by 2030 (IEA, 2021). For transport‐related clean energy, the estimated rise needs to be from USD 75 billion per year to over USD 570 billion by 2030 (IEA, 2021). At the same time, infrastructure assets and operations will be increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change, which will require an integrated approach to building resilience. In this context, the OECD Recommendation on the Governance of Infrastructure highlights the need to strengthen the quality of governments’ approaches to delivering environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure, and to engage with the private sector and the civil society to work collectively towards achieving climate action objectives.
