• Food Security and Nutrition Framework (2014), Food Security Action Plan
(2015) are other other significant development in this regard. The
Framework provides “the basis for the G20 to take a long-term, integrated
and sustainable food systems approach that will guide future action on food
security and nutrition.”
• The 2016 G20 Agriculture Minister’s meeting produced the Implementation
Plan and the Action Plan on Food Security and Sustainable Food Systems.
• Likewise, the 2018 Argentina Presidency has focused on sustainable soil
management and its impact on food security and human development
• In October 2022, the first G20 Joint Finance and Agriculture Ministers
(JFAMM) meeting agreed to task international organisation namely the Food
and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and World Bank in mapping global
policy responses to food insecurity.
Commitments for improving Public Health
Climate change has now become one of the most significant challenges to
humankind. The deteriorating global environment seriously needs sustainable
development goals. The G20 economies are responsible for nearly 75 per cent of
global greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, they are leading in the promotion of
fossil fuels, as they derive 82 per cent of their total energy supply from coal, oil and
gas. Many G20 countries are also significant producers of fossil fuels. Thus, the
group members’ commitments and compliance are critical to achieving global
climate commitments. Moreover, G20 has a strong economic interest in limiting
global warming to 1.5°C due to climate change’s negative impact on total economic
activity. The Group has frequently reiterated the timely implementation of
international climate agreements and commitments.
Steps
• The 2012 Summit in Mexico established the G20 study group on climate finance to
consider ways to mobilise resources and support the operationalisation of the Green
Climate Fund.
• Commitment to phase down the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons, the
USD 3 billion campaign for the Green Climate Fund and support for the Paris Conference’s
ambition were the significant outcomes of St Petersburg (2013), Brisbane (2014) and
Antalya (2015) Summits.
• In Guangzhou, in 2016, the G20 Sherpas agreed on a Presidential Statement on Climate
Change, committing to signing the Paris Agreement and bringing it into force as soon as
possible.
• The Sherpa track, which is coordinated directly by the G20 leaders, established a
dedicated working group, the G20 Hamburg Climate and Energy Action Plan for Growth,
on climate and energy in 2017, which became a stand-alone working group in 2018.”
Osaka Blue Ocean Vision and the G20 Implementation Framework for Actions on Marine
Plastic Litter were the other significant developments during these years.

Impact of implementation of Hangzhou and
Hamburg growth strategies
• The OECD’s assessment (2018) Quantifying the Implementation and
Impact of G20 Members’ Growth Strategies found that:
• Around two-thirds of the key commitment measures in the
Comprehensive Growth Strategies put forward at the Brisbane Summit, as
well as in the Adjusted Growth Strategies at the Antalya Summit, have been
fully implemented.
• Half of the key commitment measures in the Adjusted Growth Strategies
at the Hangzhou Summit and around 40% of the commitment measures in
the Adjusted Growth Strategies at the Hamburg Summit have been fully
implemented.
• The implementation of these commitments raised G20 GDP by around
1.3% by 2018, though there was a high degree of uncertainty around this
estimate.
