Proposal 1: G20 member countries should take a lead on enabling and facilitating the transition towards decarbonisation of consumer lifestyles through footprint assessment,strategic planning, and transition experiments.

with a pathway
towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilient
development – as part of their commitments under the Paris Agreement.
Proposal 4: G20 member countries
should support more detailed preparation of funding proposals for external climate
related funds including bilateral, multilateral and private funds.
Proposal 5: G20 member countries should start an initiative to prepare statistics for “activities” for all country to address climate change mitigation, starting from energy.
Proposal 6: G20 member countries should lead to utilize biennial reporting system under the Paris Agreement in order to strengthen voluntary activities by all Parties beyond transparency, and initiate institutional process to share the experiences.
