Session

Growing competition for land, energy, and water along with population growth is placing further pressure on our food system. Key principles are needed to help shaping a vision of global food production that is resilient, regenerative, diverse, and healthy.

This panel will formulate expectations towards the upcoming G20 summit as well as the COP15 on Biodiversity and COP26 on Climate to take action to the world’s biggest challenges.

Experts and business representatives will discuss and determine the most pressing questions around sustainable finance and impact investing and the role of sustainable finance in overcoming the global crisis. Some of the key questions that will be addressed in the keynotes, panel and breakouts are:

  • What is needed to finance a green and just transition?
  • What is the role of green recovery plans in shifting the trillions?
  • How can philanthropy help to unlock necessary financial resources?
  • What can be learned from most recently published concepts such as the International Climate Finance Plan by the US?

Under this theme, lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic will be discussed as well as the subject of how cities and communities can rebuild better in a post-COVID world. Best practice examples can be witnessed all over the world: The Superblocks in Barcelona, the 15-min City in Paris or the 20-minute neighbourhoods in Melbourne are only a few success stories.

This panel will thus formulate expectations towards the upcoming G20 summit to include cities and communities into the energy transitions process.

High-level representatives from international as well as local foundations will discuss the most pressing questions for philanthropist and their role in aligning the green recovery with the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN 2030 Agenda. The Foundations 20 platform will present their recommendations to the G20 summit. In addition, the G20 Engagement Groups will display and discuss their recommendations to the G20 heads of state.
