Content: Die sozialökologische Transformation ist in aller Munde. Dies gilt sowohl für die politischen Debatten als auch für die Wissenschaft. Dabei scheint es zunehmend Konsens zu sein, dass multiple Krisen sich nicht mehr nur mit Hilfe inkrementeller (Umwelt-)Politiken lösen lassen, sondern strukturelle Veränderungen notwendig sind. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes arbeiten Gerechtigkeitsfragen und die gesellschaftspolitische Brisanz ökologischer Verteilungskonflikte im Kontext der Transformation heraus. Durch ihre Analysen unter Bezugnahme auf unterschiedliche Dimensionen von Umweltgerechtigkeit machen sie eben jene greifbar und liefern Kontextwissen für eine längst überfällige Diskussion.

Content: This paper offers a comparative analysis of Brazilian and Chinese partnerships with the United Nations (UN) as a mechanism and channel for policy transfer. In international policy travel flows, China and Brazil currently hold privileged places as hubs from which development-related policies travel and through which they circulate. Both countries have invested in systematising their development experience and transferring development policies within their regions and beyond - often through triangular cooperation, i.e. South-South cooperation supported by third actors such as UN entities. So far, however, this variegated engagement has remained under the radar of scholarly attention. To address this gap, we examine 35 policy transfer partnerships - 17 for Brazil and 18 for China - forged with different parts of the UN system over the last two decades. In order to offer a first systematic account of partnership trajectories, we provide an overview of partnership types (namely projects, programmes and policy centres) and transfer dimensions (including the policies themselves, transfer agents and transfer arrangements). Our comparative mapping presents an evolving landscape: while Brazil was first in institutionalising robust policy transfer partnerships with numerous UN entities and then slowed down, China started more cautiously but has significantly expanded its collaboration with the UN system since 2015. The partnerships analysed cover a substantial range of sectors, with a particular focus - for both Brazil and China - on agricultural policies. While Brazilian partnerships with the UN primarily engage with linkages between agriculture and social protection, however, China-UN partnerships focus more on productivity and market linkages. As the first comprehensive mapping and comparative analysis of Brazilian and Chinese policy transfer partnerships with the UN, this paper contributes to a better understanding of (triangular) cooperation schemes between international organisations and their member states, as well as debates about how policies deemed as successful travel around the globe.

Content: Im Politikfeld der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (EZ) wird die Frage nach deren Wirksamkeit umfänglich diskutiert. Doch trotz zahlreicher Kontroll- und Evaluierungsformate, die zu Lernprozessen und damit zu einer Steigerung der Wirksamkeit führen sollen, ist diese Steigerung häufig nicht abbildbar. Dieses Paper hat vor diesem Hintergrund das Ziel, den Nutzen von Ex-post-Evaluierungen (EPE) der Entwicklungsbank der Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) zu analysieren - sowohl innerhalb der KfW Entwicklungsbank als auch bei ihrem Auftraggeber, dem Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ). Aus der Forschung lässt sich schließen, dass EPE mit hoher Sorgfalt betrieben werden. Zudem können EPE zur Legitimität der (finanziellen) EZ beitragen, da Projektergebnisse strukturiert reflektiert und präsentiert werden. Dennoch schätzen die für diese Studie Interviewten die EPE als eine (sehr) subjektive Bewertung ein und halten diese Evaluierungen unter Umständen auch nicht für untereinander vergleichbar. Die Vergleichbarkeit von EPE ist jedoch erforderlich, da aus ihren Gesamtnoten eine Erfolgsquote errechnet wird, die zurzeit bei ca. 81 % liegt. Dies wiederum hat Einfluss auf die Erfolgsberichterstattung der KfW gegenüber dem BMZ und der Öffentlichkeit. Die Daten aus den Interviews zeigen, dass durch Zielkonflikte, die bei der Erstellung und Anwendung der EPE entstehen, der Nutzen dieses Formats eingeschränkt zu sein scheint. EPE sollen sowohl der Rechenschaftslegung gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit bzw. dem BMZ als auch dem Lernen innerhalb der KfW dienen. Allerdings konfligieren diese beiden Ziele miteinander, da für jedes eine andere Herangehensweise erforderlich wäre. EPE werden laut den Befragten von KfW und BMZ nur selten gelesen oder genutzt. Interviewte beschreiben, dass EPE selten Relevanz für die operativen Bereiche haben, da sie erst mehrere Jahre nach Abschluss des Projektes erscheinen und nur vereinzelt relevante Informationen für aktuelle Projekte enthalten. Diese Zeit muss jedoch abgewartet werden, da sonst die Nachhaltigkeit und die entwicklungspolitische Wirkung eines Projektes nicht abgebildet werden können. Zudem haben EPE laut den Interviews und der Evidenz aus anderen Untersuchungen kaum politische Steuerungsrelevanz im BMZ, auch nicht in aggregierter Form. EPE nicht mehr durchzuführen ist jedoch nach Ansicht der Autorin keine Option, da lediglich auf diese Weise kostengünstig und für eine repräsentative Projektanzahl entwicklungspolitische Wirkung und Nachhaltigkeit überprüft und somit die Basis für die Rechenschaftslegungsfunktion gebildet werden kann. Den Zielkonflikt zwischen Lernen und Rechenschaftslegung zu lösen stellt eine Herausforderung dar. Für die Lernkomponente erscheint es sinnvoll, verstärkt auf Querschnittsauswertungen zu setzen sowie eine zentrale Unterstützungsstruktur für alle Durchführungsorganisationen und das BMZ zu etablieren, um alle Kerninformationen aus den Evaluierungen zu sammeln und - zugeschnitten auf die Bedürfnisse an BMZ, KfW, aber auch an die Partnerländer - weiterzugeben. Für die Rechenschaftslegungskomponente sollte außerdem die Transparenz erhöht werden, indem abgeschlossene Evaluierungsberichte zeitnah und in voller Länge der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Das Paper basiert neben einer Auswertung internationaler Forschungsliteratur insbesondere auf empirischen Interviewdaten. Insgesamt wurden 13 gezielt ausgewählte Expert*innen aus dem System der deutschen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit interviewt. Diese Interviewdaten stellen damit eine illustrative, aber keine repräsentative Stichprobe dar.

Content: Socio-ecological transitions need to address the pressing challenges of our time, namely climate change mitigation and social development – including poverty and inequality reduction – in a complementary manner. The importance of achieving resilient and sustainable societies has been made more evident by recent shocks such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. As a consequence, national and international development policies need to foster links between social and environmental goals and policies. One way to achieve such synergies is through environmental fiscal reforms, defined as the combination of carbon-pricing mechanisms and consequent revenue spending for environmental and socio-economic goals. Even though carbon pricing is just one of the instruments needed to achieve climate goals, it provides the complementary benefit of expanding revenues while incentivising a reduction in emissions though market signals. This paper discusses environmental fiscal reforms from the perspective of low- and middle-income countries and development cooperation, with a focus on how to improve the social outcomes of such reforms. While revenues can be recycled for different purposes – including compensating industries with high adaptation costs, further investments in environmental projects and research, and use for the general budget – the paper focusses on social spending. The revenue can be used to decrease poverty and inequality levels and to compensate the poorest for increases in prices by utilising social protection mechanisms. This is particularly important to garner broad societal support and to make environmental fiscal reforms and carbon pricing more socially acceptable and implementable at sufficient levels in more countries. The paper first presents the key features of different carbon-pricing policies and the revenues they can generate, especially for low- and middle-income countries that have limited fiscal space. It then shows how the revenue can be used to fund social protection mechanisms that can compensate the poorest and address distributional concerns. It underlines the gaps and limitations of current social protection programmes, especially in terms of low coverage of vulnerable populations. This also constrained the response to the war in Ukraine, as lower-income countries had to use price stabilisation mechanisms – which ultimately generated negative fiscal and environmental effects – to avoid inflicting greater burdens on the poor instead of providing targeted programmes. The paper also offers some design principles to best address distributional concerns, including sequencing and sectoral coverage. It then discusses the role that development cooperation can have in implementing environmental fiscal reforms in low- and middle-income countries. Overall, the paper suggests that environmental fiscal reforms can be used to achieve resilient societies and accelerate the fight against climate change, with the goal of building a more inclusive and sustainable future. Such reforms should become a priority of German development cooperation and a key lever for its strategic goals, instead of occupying a peripheral role, as it currently does. Most importantly, the analysis strongly underlines the case for environmental fiscal reforms rather than the current use of subsidies and price controls; this is true when considering both climate goals (as keeping prices low does not incentivise shifts in production and consumption) as well as social goals (e.g. cash transfers result in significantly greater levels of poverty and inequality reduction when compared to untargeted subsidies). Therefore, social protection investments are urgently needed, also in lower-income countries. The current energy crisis due to the war in Ukraine and the Covid-19 pandemic has made this clearer.

Content: Green hydrogen – produced with renewable energy – is indispensable for the decarbonisation of economies, especially concerning “hard-to-abate” activities such as the production of steel, cement and fertilisers as well as maritime transport and aviation. The demand for green hydrogen is therefore booming. Currently, green hydrogen is far more expensive than fossil fuel-based alternatives, but major initiatives are underway to develop a global green hydrogen market and bring costs down. Green hydrogen is expected to become cost-competitive in the mid-2030s. Given their endowment with solar and wind energy, many countries in the Global South are well-positioned to produce low-cost green hydrogen and are therefore attracting investments. Whether and to what extent these investments will create value and employment for – and improve environmental conditions in – the host economies depends on policies. This discussion paper analyses the potential industrial development spillovers of green hydrogen production, distinguishing seven clusters of upstream and downstream industries that might receive a stimulus from green hydrogen. Yet, it also underlines that there is no automatism. Unless accompanied by industrial and innovation policies, and unless there are explicit provisions for using revenues for a Just Transition, hydrogen investments may lead to the formation of socially exclusive enclaves. The paper consists of two parts. Part A provides basic information on the emerging green hydrogen market and its technological ramifications, the opportunities for countries with abundant resources for renewable energy, how national policies can maximise the effects in terms of sustainable national development and how this can be supported by international cooperation. Part B delves into the specific case of South Africa, which is one of the countries that has an advanced hydrogen roadmap and hosts several German and international development projects. The country case shows how a national hydrogen strategy can be tailored to specific country conditions and how international cooperation can support its design and implementation.

Content: Over the last two decades, national development agencies have committed to results-based approaches and to putting evidence at the centre of their decision-making. For evidence “optimists”, this is a much-needed corrective to past practice; in contrast, “pessimists” worry about ideology masquerading as science, and results-based approaches contributing to the further depoliticisation of development. This paper argues that reality falls somewhere in between these two extreme interpretations, and that the experiences of development organisations are varied enough to warrant further interrogation, not into whether evidence shapes policymaking, but into how it does so, and whose evidence matters most. The paper seeks to address these questions through an analytical framework that highlights the process of contestation between evidence agendas against a backdrop of policy complexity, professional barriers, and organisational incentives. A brief review of evidence from development cooperation agencies – with spotlight cases from Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom – reveals that institutionalisation and entrepreneurship play a critical role in enabling and shaping evidence-based policymaking. This leads to clear implications for practitioners, whose focus should be not only on getting the right kind of evidence, but on getting the politics of evidence right.

Content: In the past, both researchers and policymakers have often underlined the important role cities have to play in reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Meanwhile, city networks have become increasingly active in approaching international institutions and getting their voices heard. Among them are the Urban7 Group – a recently founded group of city associations from G7 countries advocating for a stronger involvement of cities in G7 policymaking. The discussion about who has a voice in the G7 and what role cities can potentially play in it is significant. The G7, despite being somewhat contentious, remains a highly relevant forum both in terms of the negative contribution of its members to global sustainability crises (such as climate change) and their collective economic capability to address the crises. In the past, references to the role of cities were largely absent from G7 official documents; this changed during Germany’s G7 presidency in 2022. Based on a document analysis and semi-structured interviews with ministry officials and city network representatives, this paper investigates how, in 2022, the Urban7 Group was involved in the G7 process, and which actors and contextual factors had an impact on the width and depth of this involvement. While the German presidency opted not to directly involve the Urban7 Group as an official G7 engagement group, the group nevertheless gained access to ministerial negotiations, in particular those of the new G7 track on urban development. The paper finds that this engagement was facilitated by pre-existing contacts with ministerial officials as well as changes in the delineation of ministries following the German federal election in late 2021 that led to changes in political leadership and the formation of a new ministry to take responsibility for urban development. The paper closes with critical reflections on the 2022 process, recommendations and potential avenues for future research.

Content: European Union (EU) funding for United Nations (UN) organisations has expanded significantly over the last two decades. The EU’s partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is an important example of EU-UN cooperation, and UNDP was the fourth-largest UN recipient of European Commission funds in 2018. Against the backdrop of UN and EU reforms that aim to strengthen multilateralism and promote more integrated development cooperation approaches, this paper outlines priority areas in EU-UNDP cooperation and modes of cooperation. The term “added value” provides an entry point for identifying the rationales for EU funding to UNDP. In EU budgetary discussions, added value is a concept used to inform decisions such as whether to take action at the EU or member state levels or which means of implementation to select. These choices extend to the development cooperation arena, where the term relates to the division of labour agenda and features in assessments of effectiveness. The paper explores three perspectives to consider the added value of funding choices within the EU-UNDP partnership relating to the division of labour between EU institutions and member states, the characteristics of UNDP as an implementation channel and the qualities of the EU as a funder. On the first dimension, the large scale of EU funding for UNDP sets it apart from most member states, though EU funding priorities display elements of specialisation as well as similar emphases to member states. On the second dimension, UNDP’s large scope of work, its implementation capacities and accountability standards are attractive to the EU, but additional criteria - including organisational cost effectiveness - can alter the perception of added value. Finally, the scale of EU funding and the possibility to engage in difficult country contexts are key elements of the added value of the EU as a funder. However, the EU’s non-core funding emphasis presents a challenge for the UN resource mobilisation agenda calling for greater flexibility in organisational funding. Attention to these multiple dimensions of added value can inform future EU choices on how to orient engagement with UNDP to reinforce strengths of the organisation and enable adaptations envisaged in UN reform processes.
