A two-day G20 policy workshop on the Green and Sustainable Growth Agenda for the Global Economy concluded in New Delhi yesterday. The workshop organised by NITI Aayog discussed the prospects and challenges of green and sustainable growth globally. It was designated as a side event of G20 that covered various themes related to green growth, energy, climate, and others. More than 40 global experts from diverse fields attended the two-day policy workshop.

Addressing the event, NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Suman Bery said the goal of achieving green transition goes hand-in-hand with the larger goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047.  He added that the discussions during this policy workshop have generated several important suggestions for green and sustainable growth which NITI Aayog will pursue through various fora.

On the sidelines of the G20 workshop, the G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant observed that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and climate action needs an investment of about five to six trillion dollars which in turn will create business opportunities of about 90 trillion dollars. Talking about the Prime Minister’s vision of achieving the Net Zero target by 2070, he observed that India will play a key role in green growth and sustainable development.

Emphasising the role of NITI Aayog in enabling the green transition, CEO, NITI Aayog B.V.R. Subrahmanyam stated that NITI has a fundamental role in creating ecosystems that facilitate the adoption of frontier technologies.
