About the webinar
The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international forum that brings together the major donors of development finance, and monitors external development finance. Among others, it monitors donors' commitments to activities of the Rio conventions (climate change, biodiversity and desertification), through the Creditor Reporting System (CRS) and the "Rio markers" system. Donors have to indicate for each development activity to be counted as Official Development Assistance, through the OECD, whether this activity has the environment as its main objective or not.
Within the work of the DAC, the WP-STAT (statistical working group) provides public and reliable data on official development finance and the ENVIRONET (network for environment and development cooperation), which promotes and facilitates the integration of environmental and climate issues in development cooperation, which collaborate to improve understanding and access to these data.
The objective of the webinar was to explain how the DAC statistical system works, specifically in climate-related development finance statistics: how data is collected and reported, the type of information available and the progress made in improving data quality and coverage. In addition, practical applications of the data were presented in relation to improving transparency, tools for dialogue between donor and recipient countries.
