Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development 2019: Empowering People and Ensu...OECD Governance
SDG target 17.14 calls on all countries to “enhance policy coherence for sustainable development” as a key means of implementation. According to countries’ Voluntary National Reviews, this presents a major challenge. It requires meaningful collaboration and co-ordinated action across both policy sectors and different levels of government. It also requires balancing short-term priorities with long-term sustainability objectives and taking into account the impact of domestic policies on global well-being outcomes.The 2019 edition of Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development looks at countries’ efforts to meet this challenge and identifies opportunities for accelerating progress. The third in a series, it shows how integrated and coherent policies, supported by strong institutional and governance mechanisms, can contribute to empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality.

OECD Green Talks LIVE: The gender-environment nexusOECD Environment
Gender equality and environmental sustainability are gaining political momentum as global challenges that require urgent co-ordinated action. Women and men around the world are affected in a differentiated way by climate change, deforestation, land degradation, desertification, unsustainable infrastructure, growing water scarcity and inadequate sanitation, making the goals of gender equality and environmental sustainability mutually reinforcing. They may also experience differentiated health impacts from air pollution and chemicals. Yet, very few countries integrate a gender lens to their environmental data collection and policy making.
On 30 March 2023, the OECD held a Green Talks: LIVE webinar, with a presentation by Dimitra Xynou and Valentina Bellisi, Policy Analysts from the Green Finance and Investment division. These are the slides from their presentation.

Governance as an SDG Accelerator: Country Experiences and ToolsOECD Governance
Delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a formidable governance challenge for countries at all levels of development. It requires governments to co-ordinate, consult and work across policy areas – as well as with the businesses sector and civil society – in an unprecedented way. This report provides evidence from OECD countries and partner economies on how public governance practices can be strengthened to help implement the SDGs.

KEY ELEMENTS OF PCSD
Editor's Notes
1. Between the SDGs and national policies including at the local level. Consistent actions across multiple levels of governance at the local, regional, national and international level will be fundamental for a successful implementation of the SDGs (vertical coherence).
2. Between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other international agendas. The SDGs cannot be achieved without complementary actions at the global level and without supportive international normative frameworks and regimes. These international frameworks are critical for creating international enabling environments through: a fair and well-functioning global trading system, a more transparent global tax system, stable financial systems, equitable access to knowledge, innovation and technology, responsible investment, effective climate action, amongst others.
3. Between economic, social and environmental policies. The 2030 Agenda needs to be implemented in a way that synergies can be realised across the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainable development. There is a need for inter-ministerial committees at the highest level to understand key policy linkages, to map out plans with long-term horizons, and to link national budgets and national statistic systems.
4. Between diverse sources of finance (public, private, international and domestic). One of the main challenges in achieving the SDGs will be to increase and mobilise private investments, and a PCSD approach can help countries reduce inefficient legal and policy barriers in order to enhance synergies between the provision of ODA and private financial sources.
5. Between actions of multiple actors (governments, international organisations, civil society and the private sector). Multi-stakeholder partnerships, including public-private partnerships can help mobilise resources, collective action and means for creating the necessary enabling environments to achieve the SDGs

Indivisible
SDG 2.2 and 1.2 – food and nutrition security (2.1, 2.2) are inextricably linked to reducing and eradicating poverty (1.1, 1.2). Without proper nutrition, humans cannot reach their full potential. Improving nutritional outcomes of a population is essential to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty.
Reinforcing
SDG 13.2 – 3.9 integrating climate change measures into national policies (13.2) will support improvements in air quality and thus contribute to reduce the number of deaths from air pollution (3.9).
Counteracting
SDG 2.3 – 7.1/7.2 Competition over land and water can result in trade-offs. Doubling agricultural productivity (2.3) may constrain the use of water at the expense of increasing renewable energy sources (e.g. hydropower) (SDG 7.2) or the use of other water-related energy sources to ensure access to energy (7.1).
SDG2.3 – 15.5 Intensive agriculture and revenue increase based solely on agricultural productivity (SDG2.3) without sustainability may counteract ecosystems protection/restoration (15.5) and increase deforestation and land degradation.
In addition, the SDG framework includes targets on MOI which are relevant from a PCSD perspective and can provide the basis for defining PCSD priorities, such as:
SDG 2.b Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Development Round.
SDG 3.b provide access to affordable essential medicines and vaccines, in accordance with the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, which affirms the right of developing countries to use to the full the provisions in the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights regarding flexibilities to protect public health, and, in particular, provide access to medicines for all.
SDG 4.b By 2020, substantially expand globally the number of scholarships available to developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States and African countries, for enrolment in higher education, including vocational training and information and communications technology, technical, engineering and scientific programmes, in developed countries and other developing countries.
SDG 10.c By 2030, reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent.
SDG 12.c Rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption by removing market distortions, in accordance with national circumstances,
