G20's Green Public Procurement Potential

The document highlights the role of Green Public Procurement (GPP) in the construction sector as a tool for G20 nations to reduce environmental impacts and meet climate commitments, specifically in sectors like steel and cement. It asserts that achieving this requires collaboration among G20 members and the adoption of clear mandates, monitoring, upskilling, and time-bound targets.

• Green Public Procurement (GPP) in the construction sector can assist G20 members in meeting climate commitments and reducing the public sector's environmental footprint, particularly by signaling market shifts for hard-to-abate materials like cement and steel.
• To fully realize the potential of GPP, G20 governments need to collaborate and establish specific operational frameworks, including time-bound targets, clear mandates, upskilling, and effective monitoring.
