Energy transition is central to the G20 agenda, and during India’s G20 Presidency, the geopolitics and governance of energy have become immensely challenging. What this means is that new technologies, financing and business models are needed for transitions – new tracks for new trains. Financial centres of G20 countries and their significant business communities, like Mumbai, have a critical role to play in creating this new economy.

Nadir Godrej, Managing Director of Godrej Industries and Chairman of Godrej Agrovet read out this statement at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) event in Paris, France on 7 December 2015.
