24 countries are doing less to accelerate international development than in 2023 according to key indicators, with just 11 countries acting more internationally.🌍📉#CDI2025

🥇Sweden ranks first overall, followed by Germany and Norway. Germany remains the highest-ranked G7 and G20 country.

The United States fell two places to 28th.⬇️ Even before steep aid cuts take effect, the US’s effort was falling with rising emissions pushing it further down the rankings.

The United Kingdom 🇬🇧 climbed two places to 5th, but its standing reflects aid levels before the government’s planned 40 percent budget cuts, suggesting that a steep fall is likely in future editions.

🇳🇱 The Netherlands dropped out of the top ten for the first time, falling five places to 11th due to rising fossil fuel subsidies and weak investment standards.
