In case there are any friends of more-than-humans here, here's why I was esp. glad to be a part of the T20 Taskforce 3👇🏽I would have been even happier if G20 Declaration had reflected the same level of ambition as TF3 statement does (t20ind.org/wp-content/u...). But at least we made a start via TF3.

Happy & honoured to be part of G20 T20
Taskforce 3 & to have contributed to #TF3 statement that prioritises not only human-centric #sustainabledevelopment, but (true to idea of वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्) also pioneers the way on recognising importance of "well-being of all species".
