Speaking on Tuesday at the first Environment and Climate Sustainability Working Group (ECSWG) meeting under South Africa’s G20 presidency, Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister Dion George set out the five major environmental and climate change priorities on the agenda for the G20.

These will be the pathways in which G20 nations are set to accelerate efforts if they hope to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Despite efforts to date, poverty and hunger remain rife, with a long way to go to secure planetary protection, universal education and health coverage.
