The financing for sustainable development landscape faces new pressures and challenges. The outlook presented in this chapter is worrying. Financing levels were insufficient prior to coronavirus (COVID-19). With the onset of lockdowns and the economic recession, the pre-pandemic financing gaps are widening and the decline in resources is markedly faster and more sizeable than during the global financial crisis 12 years ago. The chapter reviews trends and projections in domestic, international, public and private finance and highlights the negative impacts of the 2020 crisis on collective prospects to mobilise resources for the global goals. Better measures to assess the quantity and quality of scarce resources, i.e. their alignment and impact, are needed to make sure every dollar contributes to achieving sustainable and inclusive development.
