LDCs have had diverse recent experiences and perceptions of challenges in accessing all forms of financing, including for traditional development programming and for climate change mitigation and adaptation projects. Those with more favorable experiences tended to report having well-coordinated ministries and a systematic approach for aligning development priorities with funding opportunities, but even for these relatively better organized governments sufficient external financing cannot be accessed.

Over the past decade, international relations have become more multipolar, as seen in the increasing political and economic prominence of countries such as India and China, divergences between large developed countries and regions, and the continued emergence of the Global South. This is a trend long underway, but with renewed impetus via the spontaneous economic evolution of prominent countries in the south, Asia’s rapid recovery from the pandemic, and via intentional acts of solidarity among southern countries.

Without urgent and enhanced action, the 46 least developed countries (LDCs) will not be able to reach the
SDG 7 targets by 2030. Despite the extraordinary growth potential for the energy sector in LDCs, these countries
rarely benefit from larger financing schemes to the same extent as other, more prosperous, developing
countries. Sustainable energy should therefore be one of the central thematic topics of the new 10-year programme
of action for the LDCs to be adopted at the Fifth UN Conference on the LDCs in 2021.
