The G20’s agenda to maintain international economic and financial stability has expanded to include multilateral action on global challenges such as ensuring sustainable development and mitigating climate change. It has established several initiatives across the finance and sherpa tracks, including working groups on sustainable finance; development; energy transition; and environment and climate sustainability. However, the G20’s structure limits coordination between presidencies, tracks, and working groups. It lacks a permanent central secretariat and archival system, the tracks and working groups address issues in silos, and priorities shift annually based on the presidency. This policy brief recommends a G20 Task Force on Integrated Climate Actions to map and chronicle the research, decisions, and resources of presidencies and working groups into a cohesive set to unify, streamline, and amplify the impacts of the G20’s economic-development-climate agenda to accelerate the delivery of jobs, growth, and sustainability.
