The policy brief explores the urgent need for a new global deal to govern planetary boundaries, framing it as a crucial task for the G20. The triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution poses existential threats to humanity and exacerbates inequalities. The G20, with its historical responsibility, ownership of global commons, and substantial resources, must step up its role. The brief advocates for prioritizing environmental governance within the G20 agenda, emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental issues with inequality, poverty, and hunger. Recommendations include phasing out fossil fuels, transforming food systems, tackling overconsumption, and mobilizing financial resources through innovative taxation and financing mechanisms.
