CEEW's journey to inform India's G20 Presidency began in December 2010, when we convened a working group to co-author a first-of-its-kind report from the developing world, “Understanding Complexity, Anticipating Change: From Interests to Strategy on Global Governance.” The report was submitted to the then Prime Minister’s Office and asked the question, when India hosts a G20 summit, how will it set an agenda for the world?

In 2023, CEEW was invited to partner with 10 Union Ministries and the NITI Aayog to support India’s G20 Presidency.
