T20-Kick-Off: Introduction by Dirk Messner

The Think20 (T20) is a network of research institutes and think tanks from the G20 countries. The T20 provides research-based policy advice to the G20, facilitates interaction among its members and the policy community, and communicates with the broader public about issues of global importance. The T20 develops policy recommendations within nine thematic Task Forces which are published as Policy Briefs in the first half of 2017. The T20 network had their Kick-Off-Meeting from November 30 – December 2 2016 in Berlin. The T20 will meet again on the “T20 Summit 2017 Berlin: Global Solutions” http://www.global-economic-symposium.org/ .
