Second G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group meeting to begin in Udaipur

The second Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG) meeting under India’s G20 Presidency begins today at Udaipur in Rajasthan.

The three-day meeting is focused at the identification of relevant policies and best practices for mobilizing sustainable finance to help ensure global growth and stability.

This is the first time for the SFWG to go beyond climate-related issues and engage in dialogue for enabling enhanced financing for select sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) primarily through nature-related data and reporting and social impact investing.

On the sidelines of the meeting, two workshops are being organized today and tomorrow.

The first workshop is on Non-Pricing Policy Levers to support Sustainable Investment. The second Workshop will be on enabling finance for Sustainable Development Goals.

More than 90 delegates from the member countries of G20, guest countries, and different international organizations are taking part in this mega-event.

The SFWG's first meeting held in Guwahati on 2nd and 3rd February this year. Third meeting will be held in Mahabalipuram and fourth in Varanasi.
