Mentions to \u201ccrisis\u201d and \u201cgrowth\u201d have given way to expressions such as \u201csustainable development\u201d and caring for \u201cour planet\u201d. It struck me like a splash of cool water in a summer afternoon: soon enough, \u201cG20\u201d will stand for \u201cGreen 20\u201d.<\/p><p>Clearly, this year\u2019s G20 motto \u201cBuilding a just world and a sustainable planet\u201d is a far cry from the Summit\u2019s first edition aspirations of \u201cRecovery and new beginnings\u201d. What started as a grouping of Finance Ministers and central Bank Governors, became an annual summit of heads of state (which now includes nineteen countries and two regional state unions) with a straightforward objective: providing a political response to the 2008 financial crisis.<br \/>At the 2008 Washington DC Summit, world leaders committed to \u201crestore global growth and achieve needed reforms in the world\u2019s financial systems\u201d. Mentions to environmental and climate concerns were scarce (only one mention to \u201cclimate change\u201d), and \u201csustainability\u201d was framed in an economic perspective. It took the G20 a few years to grasp the concept of Sustainable Development (later evidenced at the Buenos Aires 2018 Summit) and to internalize climate change awareness. Before that, sustainability was only a thin notion and climate change was ranked near the bottom of the priority list. In the 2010 Toronto Summit, climate change was considered part of the scope of Multilateral Development Banks, along with other challenges such as tackling the lack of transparency of international institutions, \u201clifting the lives of the poor\u201d and providing \u201cfood security\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p>By 2011, the Cannes Summit declared the G20 leaders ready to operationalize the newly-drafted Green Climate Fund and to \u201cfight against climate change\u201d. Although the text framed those goals as \u201cone of [G20 leaders\u2019] main priorities\u201d, it circumscribed the strategy within the climate mitigation front. The 2012 Los Cabos Summit reaffirmed the commitments to sustainable development which were adopted at the United Nations (Rio+20) Conference earlier that year and stressed the idea of \u201cgreen growth\u201d, thus highlighting the capitalization opportunities underlying the initially mitigation-oriented notion of \u201cclimate finance\u201d.<\/p><p>The 2013 St. Petersburg Summit\u00a0 reiterated the fight against climate change, welcomed the outcomes of COP18 and expressed support to the upcoming climate conferences and what would become the Paris Agreement. Only in the brief five-sheet Leaders\u2019 Communiqu\u00e9 of the Brisbane 2014 Summit did climate change make it to the first page, but under rather generic considerations.<\/p><p>However, the Antalya Summit (Turkey, 2015) marked the association between \u201cactions on energy\u201d and \u201ctackling climate change\u201d. And though this did not lead to immediate coordination of such efforts, it signalized an important acknowledgment given that G20 countries account for ca. 78% of global greenhouse gas emissions.\u00a0<\/p><p>Steadily but surely, climate concerns found their way to the foreword of the summit declarations. Alongside ongoing working groups such as the Environment and Climate Sustainability Working Group (established in 2017) a specific Task Force for the Global Mobilization against Climate Change will be launched this year to coordinate the responses of the G20 Sherpa Tracks and Financial Tracks related to climate change.<\/p><p>In this manner, what used to be a mostly economic-oriented international governance forum, has become a climatized arena. This means that issues such as global economic growth and Financial Markets regulation, which were formerly addressed as unrelated to climate change, are now being considered through a \u201cclimatic lens\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p>It is true that most G20 countries are relevant actors to the international climate regime, given that they are part of the UNFCCC, the Paris Agreement and other important climate treaties. Nevertheless, the G20 is a distinct fora and its agenda has been progressively climatized. In other words, many topics on the G20 agenda have aligned with climate change concerns.<\/p><p>This interesting phenomenon is expected to intensify under this year\u2019s Brazilian presidency of the G20, for it will be coupled with Brazil\u2019s hosting of COP30 in 2025. Observing the varying modes and degrees of climatization raises relevant questions as to how these dynamics of climatization are shaped, according to what logic, and to which combinations of interests? And most importantly, we should be asking ourselves (and our leaders) whether climatizing the G20 agenda will actually help us solve the climate problem.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><br \/>Bibliographical References<\/p><p>AYKUT, Stefan C.; MAERTENS, Lucile.
