This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org

Abstract

The G20 must confront and respond to the challenge of climate change, which impacts the global economy and security. Accounting for around two-thirds of the world’s population and contributing around 85 percent of global GDP, the G20 cannot overlook the severity of the climate crisis and its impact on the world economy. The multilateral responses to these issues require embracing varied perspectives: the differential impacts of climate change among and within countries, felt disproportionately by women and other marginalised groups, and the need for an inclusive transformative climate policy. India, through its G20 leadership, is well-positioned to push a multilateral agenda for the Global South and champion an inclusive approach to climate multilateralism. By incorporating inclusive policy instruments, India’s position in leading regional and global processes can include a wide range of stakeholders, such as underrepresented voices, to inform the multilateral process.
