• Strengthening economic resilience
• Strengthening the international financial architecture
• Further developing financial markets
• Making taxation fair and reliable internationally
• Deepening cooperation on trade and investment
• Enhancing and improving employment

IMPROVING SUSTAINABILITY

Growth is not only important in itself – the type and quality of growth also matters. For this reason, the G20 is pursuing the goal of improving economies’ sustainability and will address the following topics in this field:

• Protecting the climate and advancing sustainable energy supply

• Seizing the opportunities of digital technology
• Promoting health
• Empowering women

ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY

In an increasingly interconnected world, new approaches are required in order to safeguard strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth. The G20 must assume responsibility in further areas that affect global peace and security, as well as economic development. It must also strengthen cooperation and global partnerships across all borders.

• Addressing displacement and migration
• Intensifying the partnership with Africa
• Combating terrorist financing and money laundering
• Fighting corruption
