“We have compiled this KPI taking into account the policies that have been developed under Italy’s B20 presidency by adding several aspects that are in line with the policy recommendations of the B20 this year,” Muraza said.

In addition, policy recommendations made should be consistent with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as those related to clean and affordable energy (SDG #7 Clean and Affordable Energy) and climate action (SDG #13 climate action). .
