That is premier forum for international cooperation on the most important issues of the global economic and financial agenda. It brings together governors from 19 countries and the EU. § Objectives: 1. Policy coordination between its members; 2. Financial regulations that reduce risks and prevent future financial crises; 3. Modernization of international financial architecture. § There are no formal criteria for G-20 membership and the composition of the group has remained unchanged since it was established. In view of the objectives of the G-20, it was considered important that countries and regions of systemic significance for the international financial system be included. Aspects such as geographical balance and population representation also played a major part. | © G20 Foundation | Lecture at Alma GS | 8

Russian G20 Presidency § Inthe forefront of the G20 summit, the Russian presidency announced to set a special focus on growth related topics such as growth through quality jobs and investment, growth through trust and transparency and growth through effective regulation. § Unlike preceding presidencies, the Russian G20 presidency set a special focus on including a wide range of different parties and Outreach groups in the decision process. § Following our analysis of the Outreach groups’ recommendations and the final Leaders’ Declaration, we can state that the G20 have great opportunities to become the leading forum for solving long-term and short-term global problems. The G20 Foundation supports the G20 by integrating the different stakeholders of the G20 decision process like the Outreach groups as a neutral and non-partisan process enabler. § The G20 Foundation participated at the G20 summit to build up important relationships, for example with the Turkish delegation. As Turkey will take over the G20 Presidency in 2015, it is a member of the G20 Troika right now. | © G20 Foundation | Lecture at Alma GS | 21

- 49. Inclusive Green GrowthWorkshop § The purpose of the workshop was to expand the G20 Development Working Group’s (DWG) dialogue with representatives from developing countries, especially low-income developing countries, on the lessons learned from their own experiences in designing and implementing inclusive green growth strategies. § The workshop provided the opportunity to examine in-depth the practical application and experiences on the ground with the implementation of some of the specific tools highlighted in the Annex to the G20 report “A Toolkit of Policy Options to Support Inclusive Green Growth” or “IGG Toolkit Report”. The workshop promoted the sharing of experiences on strategies, policies and instruments for inclusive green growth and presented the state of play of the Dialogue Platform on Inclusive Green Investment (DPIGI). § The discussion contributed to advancing the DWG’s objectives in three respects: – Enhance developing country’s engagement in the G20 IGG work; – Enhance understanding among policymakers in developing countries of the practical dimensions to applying IGG tools, as well as needs from developing countries; – Explore how the international co-operation can support developing countries in transitioning to the green growth path. § This workshop was organised by the OECD with input from the other International Organisations (AfDB, UN, World Bank) at the request of the Russian Presidency and other G20 members. Many G20 members attended along with ten developing country representatives: Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Moldova, Mozambique, Philippines, Rwanda, Vietnam, and the Minister of Energy in Sierra Leone.

Country examples that this is possible e.g. from Sierra Leone and Cambodia § Sharing experience on “how to do things differently” and choices about “how to develop” in a forward looking way § IGG Toolkit is a useful and living document to build on country experience § How does IGG fit into national development planning? (Examples raised by Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mozambique) § Recognition that a mix of public and ODA financing is needed to leverage private finance to implement green growth related investments. § What are the most appropriate financial vehicles and de-risking instruments to mobilize institutional investors for IGG? Source: G20 Development Working Group Workshop on Inclusive Green Growth Key challenges include: § Lack of capacity for domestic policy reform and processes § Addressing structural change and cluster industries (e.g. Sierra Leone, Vietnam) § Risk perceptions, policy predictability and access to finance (Vietnam, Rwanda, Philippines, Moldova) § Delivering green jobs and human resource skills development (e.g. Mozambique) | © G20 Foundation | Lecture at Alma GS | 49
- 51. The way forwardon Inclusive Green Growth in the G20 Some common parts of country efforts to advance inclusive green growth: § Leadership is needed, combined with bottom-up engagement, to customise strategies and policies to local needs. § There is no “one size fits all” § Essential to mainstream green growth into development planning and to raise awareness through cross-Ministry efforts and engagement with regions, localities and private sector § Innovative financial approaches that can be scaled up and/or replicated e.g. budgetary commitments (Ethiopia), use of remittances (Moldova), mix of donor, domestic and private finance (Philippines, Moldova). Source: G20 Development Working Group Workshop on Inclusive Green Growth Some key tools presented by LIC representatives § Greening national development plans and public budgets, use of SEA, land use planning (e.g. Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Rwanda) § Natural resource accounting and valuation (e.g. Mozambique, Dominican Republic, Cambodia, Rwanda) § Greening domestic tax systems, use of market finance (e.g. CDM, Vietnam, Ethiopia). § Policies and measures to mobilise investment, e.g. South African SRI from pension funds in clean energy infrastructure, FITs in Kenya. § Assessing labour/employment impacts and targeting skills and human capacity development (e.g. Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Dominican Republic) | © G20 Foundation | Lecture at Alma GS | 50
- 52. What can theG20 do? § Timely support for: – Country level planning, coordination and mainstreaming of green growth, including enhanced participation of the private sector and other key stakeholders. – Regional, South-South and triangular co-operation and lesson sharing to develop capacity on green growth – Financing for green growth, including international public development finance but also domestic public and private sources, support for domestic funds created by developing countries – Engaging the institutional investors community to scale up green investment by recalibrating financial returns to incorporate development benefits – Green research co-operation and technology transfer and increased knowledge sharing and access to information.
