G20 Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development
The G20 is committed to further aligning its work with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
to ensure that no one is left behind in our efforts to eradicate poverty, achieve sustainable development
and build an inclusive and sustainable future for all, as confirmed at the Antalya Summit. This Action
Plan, including the High Level Principles, contributes to global efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda,
including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on
Financing for Development (AAAA).
High Level Principles on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda
Recognizing the historic global consensus reached with the adoption of the universal and ambitious
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015, and recommitting to all the principles
of the 2030 Agenda, the G20 commits to contributing to its implementation. G20 efforts will continue
to promote strong, sustainable and balanced growth, protect the planet from degradation, and further
cooperate with low income and developing countries. G20 members will ensure that their collective
efforts make positive global impact towards effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda in all three
dimensions of sustainable development in a balanced and integrated manner.
The G20 will focus on sectors and themes of the 2030 Agenda where it has comparative advantage and
can add value as a global forum for economic cooperation. Within the overall sustainable development
agenda, the G20’s comparative advantage lies in its convening power and its collective ability to adopt
and support initiatives at the highest global level, including those that involve macro-economic
framework, and to create the global enabling environment.
In this regard the G20 contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda will be guided by the
following high level principles:
Implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development including the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA), through our collective and individual
efforts, at home and abroad, in a way that makes use of the comparative advantage of the G20 as a
global economic forum.
