Convened in advance of the 18-19 November T20 U.S. Summit in New York, the Pocantico Retreat will bring together a diverse group of Permanent Representatives, UN officials, and leading scholars and policy researchers from the T20 Advisory Council for an informal and forward-looking discussion on the evolving relationship between the G20 and the United Nations. Its primary goals are to:

  1. Explore the benefits of, as well as concrete ways to, further strengthen collaboration between the G20 and the UN, tying in themes and commitments from the last four consecutive Global South-led G20 presidencies. 
  2. Review and comment on key synergies between the goals of the G20 (and its engagement groups) and actions in the Pact for the Future, UN80 Initiative, and the Sustainable Development Goals, as presented through research for the Pact Innovation Forum.
  3. Consider lessons from the past, while working to take the T20 policy research network in new, results-oriented directions.

The retreat's outcomes will include:
