The DAC's main findings and recommendations

Germany is a prominent player in promoting sustainable development on the international stage. Backed by strong political commitment and sound cross-government strategies for global engagement, it uses its position strategically to engage in key areas for development. In particular, it took the opportunity of its Presidency of the G7 in 2015 to encourage strong commitments on the 2030 and climate change agendas and enhance action in other important areas such as women’s entrepreneurship, financial market regulation, taxation, trade barriers, and responsible supply chains. Germany is also involved in partnerships targeting global public goods with a number of emerging economies.
