Key point
India's G20 presidency (December 2022 to November 2023): theme Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam; six priorities including green development, climate finance and LiFE, digital public infrastructure and women-led development; New Delhi Leaders' Declaration; African Union admitted; Sherpa Amitabh Kant.
Remember
G20 2023: green growth, climate finance, DPI, women-led development.
Common mistakes
- Thinking climate finance was only a demand at the COP, not a G20 priority.
- Leaving out women-led development, a phrase India introduced.
- Mixing up the G20 troika: Indonesia, India, Brazil.
Exam tip
Educated guess: each item is something India spoke about constantly in 2023 (UPI and Aadhaar as digital public infrastructure, LiFE, women-led development). When every statement is plausible and one option says all, choose it.
