Gone are the calls for the developed countries to live up to their commitment to give at least 0.7% of their GNI in development aid. A few northern European countries – Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and, most surprisingly, the United Kingdom – in the midst of its self-inflicted austerity – fulfilled their pledges in 2014.
曾经，人们呼吁发达国家承诺至少将GNI的0.7%用于发展援助。如今已经听不到这样的呼吁。一些北欧国家——丹麦、卢森堡、挪威、瑞典，以及最令人意外的英国——它陷入了自己给自己施加的紧缩中——在2014年兑现了承诺。但美国（2014年只拿出了GNI的0.19%）远远落后了。
