The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.
IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

The Current Column, 26 February 2024
It is precisely now that Europe must not let up in its support for the country, and should intensify its efforts – including the reconstruction of Ukraine, which has already begun.
The current debate on the Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) Agreement could be very consequential for the World Trade Organization (WTO) although it is not part of the official calendar of next week’s 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi. A group of WTO Members have launched discussions on a plurilateral agreement on Investment Facilitation for Development at the 11th Ministerial Conference in 2017. These discussions have turned into actual negotiations from September 2020 onwards and in July 2023, around two thirds of the WTO’s Memberships concluded text-based negotiations. At MC13, Members aim at finalising the negotiations and integrating the plurilateral IFD Agreement into the WTO legal system. So what is at stake? Why is the IFD Agreement so controversial? And what do we know about its potential economic effects?
Bei der in der nächsten Woche stattfindenden WTO-Ministerkonferenz steht viel auf dem Spiel: Die Mitgliedstaaten müssen Entscheidungen für drängende Herausforderungen treffen – in einem Umfeld, das von Kriegen, Inflation und Protektionismus geprägt ist.

Die Covid-19-Pandemie, geopolitische Spannungen und gewaltsame Konflikte sowie Klima- und Schuldenkrisen haben das makroökonomische Umfeld verändert. In dieser neuen Realität steigender Zinssätze, hoher Inflation und zunehmender Verschuldung nimmt die Verfügbarkeit von Entwicklungsfinanzierung ab, während der Finanzierungsbedarf zur Erreichung der 17 Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung steigt. Politische Entscheidungsträger und internationale Finanzinstitutionen haben auf der Suche nach Lösungen eine Reihe von Initiativen gestartet. Darauf aufbauend werden in diesem Artikel (weitere) Maßnahmen und Reformen skizziert, um die Entwicklungsfinanzierung an dieses schwierige, von zahlreichen Krisen geprägte Umfeld anzupassen.

The Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions and violent conflicts as well as climate and debt crises have changed the macroeconomic environment. In this new reality of soaring interest rates, high inflation and increasing debt levels, the availability of development finance is decreasing, while the financing needs to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals are increasing. Policymakers and international financial institutions have launched a number of initiatives in a search of solutions. Building on those, this article outlines (further) measures and reforms to make development finance fit for this challenging environment shaped by multiple crises.

The new European Parliament, the next European Commission, and the European Council will have a long path ahead to prepare for the next decades of global sustainable development. Jointly reaffirming the EU’s commitment to the SDGs is a clear way forward, UN and EESC experts write.
