RioMarkers: Aid (ODA) activities targeting global environmental objectives
<p>This dataset contains bilateral commitment data on aid in support of environment sustainability and aid to biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and desertification from the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Creditor Reporting System (CRS) database.</p><p>In their reporting to the DAC CRS, donors are requested to indicate for each activity whether it targets environment and the Rio Conventions (biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and desertification) or not. A scoring system of three values is used, in which aid activities are marked as targeting environment as the "principal" or "significant" objective, or not at all. For more information on the scoring and criteria, please <a href="https://one.oecd.org/document/DCD/DAC/STAT(2025)50/REV2/en/pdf">see here</a>. Please note that the same activity can be marked for several objectives, and therefore caution should be used to avoid double-counting.</p><p>For more information on these flows, please see the OECD's main page on <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/official-development-assistance-oda.html">official development assistance</a> and <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/finance-for-sustainable-development.html">finance for sustainable development</a>, including <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/data/insights/data-explainers/2024/07/frequently-asked-questions-on-official-development-assistance-oda.html">frequently asked questions (FAQs)</a> on ODA.
