1.1 DEFINITION OF TOSSD
8. The Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD) statistical measure includes all officially-supported resources to promote sustainable development in developing countries. This includes i) cross-border flows to developing countries and ii) resources to support development enablers and/or address global challenges at regional or global levels.
Sustainable development
10. The concept of «Sustainable Development» is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.4
11. «Sustainable Development» in the TOSSD context is inherently linked to the Sustainable Development Goals as agreed in the 2030 Agenda5 . 6 Activities recorded as TOSSD support the implementation of the SDGs by generating sustainable economic growth, ensuring social inclusion, without compromising the environment. As and when the 2030 Agenda is concluded and replaced by another framework, the TOSSD measure will be updated to link to that framework.
4 Definition first used in the Brundtland Report. (See Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future», Chapter 2 «Towards Sustainable Development», p. 41, New York: UN, 1987.) It contains within it two key concepts: i) the concept of ‘needs’, in particular the essential needs of the world’s poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and ii) the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organisation on the environment’s ability to meet present and future needs.

Taking into account linkages with sustainable development frameworks established at regional or sub-regional level e.g. by the African Union Commission. See https://au.int/en/agenda2063.
International Public Goods, global challenges and development enablers
15. International Public Goods (IPGs) are goods which provide benefits that are non-exclusive and available for all to consume at least in two countries. The term «good» refers to resources, products, services, institutions, policies and conditions.
16. Global challenges are issues or concerns that bring disutility on a global scale and that need to be addressed globally.
