Abstract

How well and why have Group of 20 (G20) summits advanced Agenda 2030’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) in a synergistic way, with climate change and digitization at the core? An answer to this urgent, indeed existential, question comes from a systematic analysis of G20 summit governance of the SDGs, climate change and digitization to assess the ambition and appropriateness of advances within each pillar and the synergistic links among them. This analysis examines G20 governance of the SDGs, sustainable development, climate change and digitization across the major dimensions of performance and evaluates how performance has changed and become synergistic with the advent of the SDGs in 2015 and the shock of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. The latter has shown the need to prevent global ecological crises and spurred the digitization of the economy, society and health. Yet, G20 summit governance has largely remained in separate silos, doing little to use the digital revolution to address climate change or reach the SDGs. This highlights the need for G20 leaders to forge links at their future summits by mainstreaming the SDGs and mobilizing the digital revolution and climate action for future health and well-being.

从孤岛到协同:G20治理可持续发展目标、气候变化与数字化

20国集团（G20）峰会以气候变化和数字化为核心，以协同的方式推进了《2030年议程》的可持续发展目标（SDG），效果如何？为什么？这个紧迫的、实际上是存在的问题的答案来自于对二十国集团峰会可持续发展目标、气候变化和数字化治理的系统分析，以评估每个支柱内进展的雄心和适当性以及它们之间的协同联系。这项分析从绩效的主要层面审视了二十国集团对可持续发展目标、可持续发展、气候变化和数字化的治理，并评估了绩效如何随着2015年可持续发展目标的到来和2020年新冠肺炎危机的冲击而发生变化并变得协同增效。后者表明了预防全球生态危机的必要性，并促进了经济、社会和卫生的数字化。然而，20国集团峰会的治理在很大程度上仍处于独立的筒仓中，在利用数字革命应对气候变化或实现可持续发展目标方面几乎没有做什么。这突出表明，二十国集团领导人需要在未来的峰会上建立联系，将可持续发展目标纳入主流，动员数字革命和气候行动，以促进未来的健康和福祉。
