"Secondly, we need greater collaboration from international community for unified, stronger and green mechanism to tackle the negative impacts of climate change and uphold sustainability. G20 countries have specific roles to play here.
"And thirdly, Global financing mechanism must be replenished as promised in a true spirit of responsibility sharing and partnership."
