Abstract

Brazil’s G20 Presidency is an opportunity to deeply reshape our global economy and build political consensus on two fronts to address the twin challenges of climate and development: 1) a new energy sustainability and security package, focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, transitioning away from fossil fuels, and managing competition in clean energy markets; and 2) a new reform vision for the financial system, focused on reimagining its institutions, norms, and terms of operation.
