How we work

01

Advocacy & Recommendations

Our advocacy directly aligns the G20 agenda with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the year, we actively engage in key international forums and diplomatic events to build momentum and elevate philanthropic solutions.

This work culminates in the annual F20 Recommendations, evidence-based policy asks developed with our network and delivered directly to decision-makers.

Convening & Partnerships

We unite foundations, policymakers, researchers, and civil society to turn shared goals into collective impact. Throughout the year, we foster trust and strategic coordination through executive member calls, high-level bilateral meetings, and our flagship Climate Solutions Forum.

By aligning these efforts around major international milestones, including COPs and Climate Weeks, we turn global moments into lasting, high-impact alliances.

Strategic Dialogue and Partnerships

Long-term impact requires aligned leadership and persistent engagement. Through regular Steering Group meetings, our partner foundations shape F20’s strategic direction and ensure our advocacy is grounded in global philanthropic expertise.

In partnership with WWF Deutschland, we co-lead an international Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG), mobilizing cross-sector experts to redirect capital flows and directly influence the G20’s financial agenda.

Inclusive G20 Participation

We successfully advocated for a stronger civil society voice, supporting the creation of the landmark G20 Social Summit.

Renewable Energy Transition

Our call for ambitious targets aligned with the historic COP28 commitment to triple global renewable energy by 2030.

Just Transition

We advocate for a fair transition that protects vulnerable communities and aligned with major milestones like the G20 Just Transition Principles.
