Financing for Sustainable Development Report 2026

Our world is navigating a moment of profound turbulence. Millions are being drawn into cycles of conflict and displacement, while the climate crisis is hitting the most vulnerable the hardest. Aid is declining and geopolitical divides and mistrust are blocking effective action. But last year, in the midst of this turmoil, Member States stood together and adopted the Sevilla Commitment―a renewed global framework for financing sustainable development. The needs are urgent. The financing gap to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals now stands at over $4 trillion annually. Developing countries face shrinking fiscal space, high borrowing costs, declining aid flows, volatile trade and uneven access to technologies and innovation. The global financial system as a whole is struggling to adapt to meet the evolving needs of today’s economies, especially developing countries, and still largely reflects the economic and power structures of the past. This report―the first comprehensive assessment since the adoption of the Sevilla Commitment―tracks how the world is delivering on the Commitment’s calls for ambitious actions on investment, debt and reform of the international financial architecture. Despite some early signs of progress around the world, the overall picture is sobering. We need to continue pushing forward in key areas: tripling the lending capacity of multilateral development banks; unlocking private capital at scale; scaling up new instruments that reduce debt vulnerabilities; speeding up support for countries facing debt distress; and giving developing countries a stronger voice and more meaningful participation in global financial institutions and international policymaking. Financing for development is more than an economic imperative. It represents a pathway to a future in which all countries can thrive, trade and prosper together.
