. India’s G20 agenda under this theme focused on six priorities including green development and climate finance, inclusive growth, accelerating progress on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), technological transformation, strengthening multilateral institutions, and women-led development
. In summary, the theme “One Earth, One Family, One Future” encapsulates India’s approach to fostering global cooperation for sustainable development, climate action, and inclusive growth during its 2023 G20 Presidency
