Country profiles - G20 responses to the energy crisis
This paper has two complementary objectives. First, it seeks to complement Climate Transparency’s existing analytical work with a policy-oriented contribution to the evolving international discussion on implementing the energy outcomes of the first Global Stocktake. Second, it aims to contribute to ongoing policy discussions by examining how clean electrification is emerging as a strategic response to the evolving energy-security landscape; exploring how G20 experiences can inform the implementation of NDC 3.0 and the GST energy outcomes; and providing a comparative overview of G20 efforts towards the transition away from fossil fuels.
The analysis combines a review of relevant energy and climate data, policy literature, and official sources with country assessments prepared by Climate Transparency partners and, where possible, additional collaborating organisations. It aims to provide a G20-wide perspective, while recognising that final country coverage depended on partners’ participation and availability.
The country profiles compiled here form part of a phased series of efforts that will include a final version of the report, dedicated seminars, and further outreach initiatives, among others. These profiles follow a standard template and common set of guiding questions to support comparability across countries. Recognising the diverse national circumstances across the G20, the assessment seeks to identify common trends, emerging patterns, and key differences across countries and regions.

EVENT: Implementing the Energy Transition: Policies in Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia and South Africa
The Global Stocktake is clear: All countries need to raise their ambition to curb their emissions effectively, to a degree that is fair to their development status. But ambitious targets are not sufficient on their own - policies need to be in place and be implemented effectively. Climate Transparency’s new Climate Policy Implementation Check has [...]
EVENT: Oil and Gas in the G20 – Who is leading the way ahead of the COP28?
At the G20 Summit in New Delhi in September 2023, countries did not make progress on committing to phase out fossil fuels. In the run-up to the COP28 held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the words of Secretary-General Guterres should be recalled: “The world must phase out fossil fuels in a just and equitable way [...]
