The Valedictory Session of the World Sustainable Development Summit 2023 summarized the key messages emanating from various sessions that were part of the Summit deliberations. During the valedictory, the Act4Earth Manifesto was released, which included messages for the G20 presidency as well as COP28, followed by the launch of Vasundhara Magazine by TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI-SAS). The session also served as a platform to showcase the curtain-raiser for the 23rd edition of WSDS, where the dates and the theme of the next edition of the Summit were announced.
“More work is required in bringing countries together to discuss the issue of sustainable development and climate change. We must look at it from a global perspective rather than the national interest. We still need to do far more creative work on promoting collective action. India is playing a strong role in G20, particularly focusing on the Green Development Pact,” said Mr Nitin Desai in his address as the chair of the session. This is the first time in G20 that a country has decided to pick on ‘green development’ as a major theme and push it at the G20 meeting, which is “welcoming from the perspective of getting sustainable development as part of the collective action,” he added.
