India turned a normally staid affair into a global coming-out party, write Manjari Chatterjee Miller and Clare Harris.

India turned the G20 into the public forum that would display this new role, and it succeeded in three important ways. Having astutely asked Global South countries at an earlier forum what issues they wanted brought forward, India’s G20 agenda was devoted to furthering the interests of developing countries—climate financing, sustainable lending, multilateral bank reform, food security, and health and digital public infrastructure were all on the table.
Historically, the G20 has been criticized for its inability to produce concrete outcomes. Whether this summit delivered any measurable wins for the members is debatable. In terms of addressing climate change, there was no commitment to phasing out fossil fuels such as coal. Leaders agreed to try to triple renewable energy capacity globally by 2030 and accepted the need to “phase-down” coal power. However, no timeline was set for this phase-down.
