Topic:  G20 - Environment and Climate Sustainability

The Climate Sustainability Working Group (CSWG) was established during the Argentine Presidency in 2018, while the Environment Deputies Meeting (EDM) started in 2019 under Japan’s Presidency. EDM and CSWG focus on environment and climate issues which include inter alia resource efficiency, circular economy, ocean health, marine litter, coral reefs, land degradation, biodiversity loss, water resource management, and ways to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Delegates in this committee must work together to create efficient modern solutions to achieve the greatest impact on lessening the effect of climate change. Due to the nature of specialized committees, they must also be prepared for unexpected situations that require fast-paced thinking to create innovative ideas.
