The G20 Development Ministerial Meeting will be an opportunity to collectively agree on actions for accelerating achievement of the SDGs and foster synergies between the development, environment and climate agendas while avoiding costly trade-offs that hold back progress for the developing countries, according to a statement by G20 Indian Presidency.
The Varanasi Development Ministers’ Meeting takes place from June 11-13 in Uttar Pradesh, under the G20 Indian Presidency, amidst developmental challenges that have been further aggravated by economic slowdown, debt distress, impacts of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, growing poverty and inequality, food and energy insecurity, cost-of-living crisis, global supply-chain disruptions, and geo-political conflicts and tensions, the statement said.
The meeting will consist of two main sessions, one on “Multilateralism: Collective Actions for Accelerating Progress towards SDGs†and another on “Green Development: A LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) Approachâ€.
The Development Ministers’ Meeting was preceded by the fourth and final Development Working Group (DWG) Meeting, which was held in Delhi.
A total of 200 delegates are expected to attend the meeting.
