Shillong: The Meghalaya Basin Management Agency, in collaboration with the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) as the Think20 (T20) Secretariat under India's G20 Presidency is set to host the Think20 Conference titled 'Nature Solves: A New Framework for Our Sustainable Future' here from July 5.
Think20 (T20) is an official Engagement Group of the G20. It serves as an idea bank for the G20 by bringing together think tanks and high-level experts to discuss policy issues relevant to the G20. T20 recommendations are synthesised into policy briefs and presented to G20 working groups, ministerial meetings, and leaders’ summits to help the G20 deliver concrete policy measures.
This sub-national three-day dialogue aims to convene both domestic and international stakeholders to deliberate and devise solutions for promoting a nature-positive transition in India and in other participating countries, with the potential for replication worldwide.
Policymakers, academicians, bureaucrats and experts from multi-lateral agencies representing 14 G20 countries, including ADB, World Bank, UNICEF, UNESCO, UNDP, and TIPS, will come together on a common platform to exchange ideas and collaborate on complex local and global challenges.
With over 60 speakers from various countries, the conference is expected to generate discussions and recommendations that will contribute to the finalisation of the 'Meghalaya Manifesto', a policy framework for nature-positive solutions to combat climate change.
