They recognize the need for climate finance and the importance of sustainable biofuels. The agreement to triple renewable energy capacity was seen as a significant step towards meeting climate goals. However, no specific progress was made on phasing out unabated fossil fuels. The G20 leaders called for MDB reforms and a second replenishment process of the Green Climate Fund.

In a significant move on climate change issues at G20 summit, the leaders here on Saturday agreed to go for rapid, deep and sustained reductions in global GHG emissions by 43% by 2030 relative to the 2019 levels to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C in sync with reaching global net-zero emissions by 2050, and promised to “triple renewable energy capacity globally” by 2030 to meet that goals.
