G20's Green Public Procurement Potential

This policy brief outlines how G20 countries can utilize Green Public Procurement (GPP), particularly in the construction sector and hard-to-abate industries like steel and cement, to support decarbonization and meet climate commitments through coordinated reform and strategic implementation.

• Green Public Procurement (GPP) in the construction sector can support national decarbonization efforts, and strategic procurement by G20 members can signal global markets to accelerate the green transition in hard-to-abate sectors, specifically steel and cement.
• To fully realize the potential of GPP and fulfill climate commitments, G20 nations must collaborate and implement specific governance measures, including time-bound targets, clear mandates, upskilling, and effective monitoring.
