According to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), Italy is an active and important player in the field of green development. The country’s leadership is strongest when connecting domestic and development cooperation priorities, illustrating its own actions on cultural heritage, agriculture, and food security.

For example, in the midst of the war in Ukraine, Italy has guaranteed funding for NATO, while it’s also helping to finance the United Nation’s Agenda 2030 for the Sustainable Development Goals also to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
