G20 Outreach Groups
The G20 has sought to incorporate policy contributions from an ever-broader cross-section of society for more inclusive policy solutions. Initiated in 2009 with business representatives during the Toronto Summit, consultation with non-state actors has evolved and is now organized under five groups:
- Business 20 - B20
- Civil Society 20 -C20
- Labor 20 - L20
- Think tanks - T20
- Young People -Y20
Think Tanks 20 - T20
Think Tanks 20 is a platform which brings together global think tanks and high-level experts in order to provide analytical depth to ongoing G20 discussions and produce ideas to help the G20 on delivering concrete and sustainable policy measures. The Think-20 chair does, however, forward a summary of the ideas discussed at Think-20 meetings to Sherpas.
