The Development working meeting will be held on December 14-15, 2022,
with a focus on India’s key priorities relating to accelerating progress on the
SDGs, Lifestyle for environment and data for development.
India's G20 Presidency lies at a crucial midpoint of the 2030 Agendafor
Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015. Review of SDG progress and G20’s
efforts to achieving the SDG targets would be discussed at the DWG meeting. In
the context of Green Development, focus areas would include climate finance and
technology, as well as just energy transitions for developing
countries.Understanding that the issue of climate change cuts across industry,
society, and sectors, the concept of LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), a
behaviour-based movement that draws from our country’s rich, ancient and
sustainable traditions, to nudge consumers, and in-turn markets, to adopt environmentally-conscious
practices, would be deliberated upon. LiFE ties closely with India’s G20 motto
'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' and theme “One Earth One Family One Future”. With our
human-centric approach to technology, tech-enabled development in sectors
ranging from agriculture to education would also be discussed. Women
empowerment and representation, including efforts to bring women
to the fore, and in leading positions, in order to boost socio-economic
development and achievement of SDGs, would be highlighted.
The official DWG meeting will be followed by an excursion by the
delegates to Kanheri caves on December 16, 2022.
