One of the unprecedented challenges that the world is facing is the impact of climate change. Rising sea level, frequent heat waves and unseasonal monsoons are a few manifestations of extreme weather events.

However, addressing the crisis requires trillions of USD in climate finance, debt restructuring or cancellation, and a shared international framework. The session will ask: What is the G20’s position on the climate question, can the G20 reach an agreement on climate finance, and, if yes, what will be the nature, amount and form of finance?
