The ISC, as a network partner to the S20 process, is working closely with the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and G20 member Academies to contribute to the specific recommendations and implementable actions for policy makers at the G20 talks scheduled for 21-22 November 2020 in Riyadh.
The core purpose of the S20 Engagement Group is to present policymakers with consensus-based recommendations for the chosen topics of interest. These science-driven recommendations are formulated through task forces comprising international experts. A report will be detailed soon.
Over the course of a S20 cycle, each task force formulates a substantive policy paper with specific recommendations and implementable actions for the G20. These policy proposals form the basis of the S20 communiqué, that is officially presented to the G20 leaders for consideration.
