| The G20-CSAR initiative began with a planning meeting in virtual mode on January 20, 2023, under the Sherpa Track of the Indian Presidency. This meeting set the stage for discussions on four priority areas.

The journey began with the first meeting of G20-CSAR held in Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, in March 2023, where participants shaped the initial deliberations for the Outcome Document through focused discussions on priority areas.
