 To deal with today's problems the G20 almost needs to become an M20 you know the idea of bringing together governments to solve issues by themselves made sense in the past when many of the key problems actually were caused by government so setting up of a security cancel at the United Nations after World War two to deal with conflict made sense governments cause wars governments can stop wars when we look at the challenges today governments don't start food security issues climate change concerns or even unemployment issues and they certainly can't solve them by themselves so we actually need to have a global gathering that certainly has governments at the focal point but includes all these other key stakeholders the private sector civil society and other groups that can really help collectively come up with the right solutions such a process might be quite different than the G20 process today today each country in turn takes on the responsibilities but it's almost a 12-month stop-and-go there's no permanent secretariat the focus is on intergovernmental and interdepartmental negotiations and discussions very little room to actually incorporate civil society or the private sector in a structured way therefore an approach going forward would focus more on what are the key issues have continuity on dealing with those issues whether it's on food security or anti-corruption or green growth over a number of years and it would ensure that while governments are involved other key stakeholders are involved in an ongoing process finally that approach would actually ensure that there were some real markers of progress and everybody governments but other stakeholders should be held accountable to see that there's actually real movement from year to year the B20 process brings together leading companies from around the world to provide advice to the G20 on a number of issues in the past it used to be a fairly pro forma consultation right at the beginning of a G20 meeting with very little real input that's changed significantly over the last year in particular this year there were just a few topics many of which had been continued from conversations in the previous year this year instead of just having CEOs providing a business perspective key civil society actors such as Oxfam such as Transparency International and international organizations such as the OECD were full members of the task forces to provide more balanced and complete views and perhaps even more importantly the recommendations were provided to governments months before the G20 and there were key meetings with the right ministers and the right departments to actually help fashion not just general recommendations but specific actions I think the last point that people will see at Los Cabos is the private sector is not only suggesting what governments should do they're coming up with actions they will be doing themselves whether it's food security dealing with corruption or dealing with youth unemployment business is also coming forward with very concrete actions they'll be taking themselves if we look at unemployment there'll be a strong commitment to significantly increase the number of apprenticeships and companies and also to improve the link between companies and colleges thereby ensuring that there's better education for employment and then also through the apprenticeships employment that in a sense is also a form of applied education so business will not just be there is as a lobbyist they'll be there as stakeholders and corporate global citizens really trying to come up with ways to improve the state of the world
