The first meeting of the sustainable finance working group under G20 is being organized in Guwahati on February 2 and 3. Guwahati is ready to host the prestigious meeting for which delegates have started arriving from February 1.
More than 100 delegates, including representatives of G20 nations, guest countries and international organizations, will participate in the meeting of the sustainable finance working group.
The G20 sustainable finance working group aims to mobilize sustainable finance to help ensure global growth and stability and promote the transition towards a greener, more resilient, and inclusive societies and economies.
The two-day meeting will have four sessions to discuss the following main issues: 1. Mechanisms for mobilization of timely and adequate resources for climate finance; 2. Enabling finance for sustainable development goals; and 3. Capacity building of the ecosystem for financing toward sustainable development.
The essence of India’s G20 presidency is embodied in the theme of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’. The theme underlines the message of interconnectedness and green transformation to promote a pro-life planet with a people-centric approach.
A number of ‘Jan Bhagidari’ events are also being organized on the sidelines of meetings including a cleanliness drive, painting and slogan competition, seminar on financing for SDGs, tree plantation drive, and G20 conclave on innovative investment for climate action.
