Under the chairmanship of Jakarta in the U20, G20 leaders are expected to respond to the issues of economic and social recovery for all, to ensure that post-pandemic global recovery is inclusive and equitable, anchored on the creation of middle class jobs that support decent livelihoods for all; productive and affordable housing, as a means to enhance inclusivity, economic productivity, and environmental sustainability of the city; renewable energy transition, to create transformational opportunities that address both climate-related and economic challenges, i.e. to provide more affordable electricity, create new job opportunities, and address long-standing social disparities in urban society; equal access to sustainable mobility, to promote connectivity, active mobility and opportunities in urban informal settlements, peri-urban & rural  locations while moving towards a more sustainable mode of mobility that integrates public transportation networks and transforms car-oriented mobility to non-motorized mobility; mental health and pandemic resilience, to ensure that cities are both better prepared to deal with the threat of the next pandemic, including by promoting equity in vaccine technology and production capacity, while protecting the mental health of its citizens in the endemic phase; and the future of work, to grant that government policy contributes to developing digitization and automation processes that are labor friendly and contribute to protecting workers in developing and developed countries, notably informal workers, short term contract workers as well as workers in the giga economy.

TF8 of the T20 is currently preparing a proposal to G20 members in establishing a global investment platform to provide a more holistic approach to urban development than a sectorial or project-by-project strategy. The global investment platform is expected to assist integrated urban planning, provide public access to trustworthy and accurate location-based information, improve municipal budgets and city creditworthiness, and identify urban investment priorities.
