Abstract

Problems without passports have driven the evolution of networked models of multilateralism that have had significant impacts, but still cannot overcome the gap between global challenges and solutions. In pursuit of its goal of building multilateral institutions for 21st-century challenges, the G20 should use its comparative advantage as a leadership forum to make these governance innovations more effective and inclusive. This policy briefa recommends the G20 support the establishment of an emergency platform to respond to systemic risks, launch a G20 Acceleration Initiative for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and for climate, and increase the capacity of the international system to think, plan, and act for the future. In a period when its presidency is held by countries from the Global South (Indonesia, India, Brazil, and South Africa), the G20 should use major global moments-the SDG Summit, Global Stocktake, and Summit of the Future- to benefit young countries where the majority of future generations will be born.
