Communiqué of Civil Society 20 China 2016

Qingdao, China, 6 July 2016

1. We, representatives from 54 countries and

regions attending the Civil Society 20 (C20) China 2016, gathered in Qingdao, China on 5 and 6 July

2016 for candid and in-depth discussions on the

theme of “Poverty Eradication, Green Development, and Innovation: Role of Civil

Society”. We share the view that, the world

economy currently remains sluggish and growth lackluster ； Major economies lack sufficient

coordination in policies and develop on different

tracks; in some countries, inequality and imbalance in all their forms are increasingly

prominent as unemployment rates remain high.

Poverty eradication, green development and innovation are essential to the achievement of a

strong, inclusive and balanced growth of the world

economy and that of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. There is no

development to talk about without the eradication

of poverty. There is no guarantee for sustainability

without green development. Yet, both poverty

eradication and green development need innovation as the driving force. We urge the G20

Summit and governments of all countries to take

speedy and concrete actions in the above-mentioned fields, including the formulation

of national “action plans” to implement the 2030

Agenda for Sustainable Development. International cooperation shall be carried out in an

active manner with the supportive role of

multilateral financial institutions brought into fuller play in the implementation of the 2030

Agenda. Civil society organizations shall, in this

process, make their contribution by offering advice and suggestions. We set great store by the

long-term trend of the Chinese economy, in

anticipation of its success development and its leading role in injecting new momentum and

propelling a stable recovery and sustainable

development of the world economy through the implementation of the “Belt and Road” Initiative.

2. We commend the positive contribution of the

previous three C20 meetings in the above-mentioned fields. By focusing on green

development and presenting a series of valuable

insights on poverty alleviation and innovation, the previous three C20 meetings thus serve as the

basis for deliberations at C20 China 2016.

Poverty Eradication and Shared Development

3. To end poverty, the impoverished population must be empowered to expand their knowledge,

State Councilor Yang Jiechi at opening ceremony

learn new skills, build up physical strength, be informed of their rights and interests and be

guaranteed of such rights and interests. We need

to further eliminate gender discrimination and improve both the quantity and quality of jobs

available to the whole society. We call upon all

governments to approach poverty eradication from broader perspectives of safeguarding world peace

and social stability and improving the well-being

of each and every individual, share experiences of poverty reduction, intensify international

development cooperation and extend stronger

support for developing countries in poverty eradication.

4. Criteria for poverty reduction shall be further

refined and a multi-pronged assessment system shall be established. Besides economic indicators,

social indicators shall also be incorporated. In

addition to meeting the minimal needs of the low-income population for food and clothing, the

most basic security shall be provided in their

education, healthcare and housing. 5. The advocacy of equality and sharing shall be

promoted through the creation of a generally

enabling social and policy environment for poverty reduction. Basic means of production and

livelihood shall not be concentrated in the hands

of a few. To mobilize adequate resources, governments shall create a level playing field

through taxation and investment, launch

anti-corruption campaign and narrow the income gap by expanding such public services as

education and healthcare. There is a need to

establish fair tax systems and intensify international cooperation in cracking down illicit

capital outflows and tax havens and regulating and

stopping the spread of tax evasion and avoidance. Developed countries shall, by means of Overseas

Development Assistance (ODA), reinforce the

developing countries’ efforts in seeking growth. 6. A development-oriented approach shall be

advocated in poverty alleviation. Various causes

of poverty shall be addressed by stepping up supporting infrastructure construction, increasing

input, reforming tax systems, improving public

services and providing basic social security. Special emphasis shall be laid on tackling the lack

of capacity to shake off poverty on the side of the

impoverished and make them more incentivized and capable. There shall be precision poverty

alleviation initiatives for the implementation of

programs tailored to the specific circumstances of underdeveloped localities including the

development of specialty industries.

7. Efforts shall be made to put in place a multi-actor system built and shared across the

entire society to encourage participatory poverty

alleviation. In this regard, governments shall create favorable policy environment to support

and encourage the private sector and the civil

society to play a greater role in poverty alleviation. The civil society shall strengthen cooperation and

make joint efforts to eradicate poverty.

8. Given that the impoverished population in developing and the least developed countries

disproportionately concentrate in rural areas,

efforts shall be made to improve agricultural productivity and food security. Concrete steps

shall be taken to develop a more inclusive

approach to protect agricultural interests, smallholder farmers in particular, support

agricultural innovation, promote investment

accountability in agriculture, improve social services in the agricultural sector, and encourage

integrated development of agriculture and other

industries. Access to financial services, loans and credits shall be expanded for smallholder farmers

and women. Investment in rural infrastructure

shall be scaled up. Stronger measures shall be taken to stabilize global food prices. Urban

poverty shall be brought into focus. Measures

shall be taken to balance urban and rural development, promote a new-type of urbanization

system, enhance rational and effective allocation

of public service resources and help migrant workers integrate into their host society and enjoy

equal social services as city residents.

9. Efforts shall be made to provide equal access to education, achieve inclusive and quality education

for all and promote lifelong learning. More

education resources shall be allocated to less developed regions to eliminate illiteracy and

enroll a greater proportion of students from

low-income families in higher education, particularly women and girls. Vocational

education with more useful majors of distinctive

features shall be set up to equip the impoverished, particularly refugees, persons with disabilities and

other vulnerable groups, with professional skills.

Life-long learning education programmes shall be developed for the elderly and so shall programmes

relevant with the aging population and the “silver economy”.

10. High attention shall be placed on child

development and rights. We call for all governments to reinforce assistance for families

and children living in poverty, increase investment

in early childhood development and primary education, protect each and every child from all

forms of violence and abuse, oppose chil

marriage and encourage children to participate in related public affairs and policy-making.

11. Medical security system shall be improved.

Insurance schemes against critical illnesses shall be instituted and improved to ensure that nobody

falls into poverty because of illness. Closer

international communicable diseasecooperation programs shall be developed for the

prevention and treatment of communicable

diseases, such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV-AIDS infection and other common diseases

like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The overall

quality and accessibility of public healthcare shall be upgraded. The global system of development

and pricing of medicine shall be improved to

make appropriate and affordable drugs available to each and every individual.

12. Greater efforts shall be made t

gender equality, facilitate employment and entrepreneurship for women, conscientiously

well as economic and social development and the Chinese government supports their work. In the same vein, China

welcomes friendly exchanges and cooperation with foreign NGOs.

He also said that in recent years the importance of C20 in interactions between governments and civil society and in global

economic governance has grown through listening to the voices of society and in building consensus.

about an ecological pattern that calls for green, low-carbon, circular and sustainable development

in which man coexists harmoniously and shares

destiny with the nature, one another and the society.

15. We call on governments of countries across

the world, in particular G20 members, to take effective actions in response to climate change and

strive for earliest possible ratification and entry

into force of the Paris Agreement. As is stipulated in the Paris Agreement, each government shall

formulate and communicate at the earliest possible

date its national long-term low greenhouse gas emissions development strategies, regularly renew

its ambition for nationally determined contribution

(NDC) and strive for the goal of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well

below 2 °C above pre-industrial level and pursue

efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.

16. The efforts to address climate change shall

follow a fair and reasonable path of win-win cooperation and common development and

conform to the principle of “equity” “common but

differentiated responsibilities”, and “respective capabilities”. Developed countries shall shoulder

greater responsibility and make bigger

contribution by providing the developing countries with strong support in finance, technology and

capacity building. Developed countries shall meet

the commitment to mobilizing $100 billion per year by 2020 to support climate adaptation and

mitigation in developing countries and providing

additional sources for climate finance, ensuring that at least 50% of the Green Climate Fund is

devoted to enhancing the adaptive capacity of the

groups particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change.

17. Efforts shall be intensified to protect

ecological environment with environment quality improvement at the core and tackling

environmental threat to public health as the

priority. Measures highlighting prevention and drawing on comprehensive management shall be

taken to strengthen the prevention and control , as

appropriate, of air, water and soil pollution, implement the strictest environmental protection

system, and set up an environment management

system to engage governments, business enterprises and the civil society.

18. Overall energy consumption shall be managed by gradually phasing out fossil fuel subsidies and

increasing the share of the renewables in the

energy mix and higher global energy efficiency. Energy conservation technologies and products

shall be developed and popularized. A clean,

low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system shall take shape to ensure affordable,

reliable and sustainable clean energy for all.

19. Efforts shall be made to develop energy conservation and environment-protecting

industries, hasten their development in clusters,

and build a system of circular industries. Green and low-carbon cities, green designs, green supply

chain, green infrastructure, green consumption,

green families and green traveling shall be promoted and green education shall be included in

school curriculums. The civil society shall be

encouraged to take actions in long-term low-carbon, climate-adaptive and sustainable

social transformation and to engage further in

exchanges and cooperation with governments, financial institutions and enterprises in a joint

effort to promote social change in this regard.

20. We support the G20 in its actions and initiatives for green finance and call for the

upgrading of G20 Green Finance Study Group

into a Working Group. Green finance shall be integrated into national development strategies.

Active efforts shall be made to deliver green

financial products and services, channel public fund and social capital into green projects,

promote green PPP projects and increase

investment in nature. Green taxation shall be taken into consideration and “green” bonds issued. We

support development of third-party verification

and international standards for issuing green bonds, building up the carbon market and

enhancing international cooperation in this regard.

In carrying out domestic and international economic projects, impacts on the environmental

and social dimensions shall be taken into account

and be assessed. Laws and regulations shall be formulated to enforce financial institutions and

enterprises to disclose information on

environmental and social impacts and protect the public’s rights to know and supervise.

Championing the Future through Innovation

7


21. Innovation has always been the driving force behind human progress. Under the current

circumstances of sluggish recovery in the global

economy, invigorating vitality for innovation across the society appears to be particularly

crucial. Inclusive innovation shall be advocated,

creating a cultural and social atmosphere which boosts exploration, encourages innovation and

allows failures and removing all timidity and

institutional barriers that constrain innovation, so as to effectuate innovation by the people and for

the people. Vulnerable groups shall participate in

and benefit from innovation. A comprehensive approach shall be taken to integrate innovation in

mindset, ideas, business, technology, society and

institutions. 22. Innovation shall be conducive to sustainable

development. More input shall be directed to

innovation while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of labor, information, knowledge,

technology, environmental sustainability,

management and capital. An integrated approach shall be adopted with regard to the development of

industry, education and research, helping to drive

cost-effective solutions. 23. People with talents shall be regarded as the

primary factor for innovation. Intensified efforts

shall be devoted to attracting and training and optimally utilizing talents. Mobility of talents shall

be encouraged. New programs shall be developed

to train innovative talents. 24. Innovation in science and technology shall

honor the scientific spirit, ethics and moral

standards. On the basis of fully understanding the features of scientific and technological

programmes, favorable conditions and tolerant

environment shall be created to facilitate research, invention and technological breakthrough by

scientists.

25. More emphasis shall be laid on enterprises as an important player in innovation and

non-governmental scientific and technological

institutions and organizations as a player and intermediary in conducting and promoting

scientific research. Governments shall, by means

of fiscal subsidy, taxation and indirect investment, extend support to enterprises, especially small-

and medium-sized ones (SMEs) in carrying out

scientific research and development. 26. Intellectual property rights shall be protected

with improved legislation and strict law

enforcement. Meanwhile, more enterprises and individuals shall be encouraged to rationally use

their patents and copyrights for widespread

sharing of information and data. 27. Support shall be directed towards enterprises,

individuals and other organizations in their efforts

to create new Internet-based industries and business models. We support the construction of

the Internet infrastructure for the migration to the

next generation Internet (IPv6) and the green and sustainable development of cyberspace. We

encourage the broader advocacy of “mass

entrepreneurship and pool of wisdom” as well as the new business model of “maker”. The SME

innovation service system shall be improved by

offering greater support for their cross-border economic activities.

28. Financial innovation shall serve the real

economy by expanding venture capital availability and capital market, providing flexible and easily

accessible credit, broadening indirect financing for

technological innovation and directing investment into innovation projects. Efforts shall be made to

tackle the challenge by containing the rapid

increase in potentially destabilizing financial products and speculative financial flows. New

financial products shall be subject to approval in a

mandatory procedure and risky financial products shall be strictly regulated and managed.

Government and the Civil Society Joining

Hands for Common Progress

29. In addressing poverty eradication, green development and innovation, governments bear

important responsibilities, while the civil society

has a role to play as forerunner, communicator, supervisor and facilitator. In this regard, the two

stakeholders shall make concerted efforts to forge

ahead in tandem. We call on the G20 Summit, through policy, fiscal input and institutional

deliverables, to place greater emphasis on and

bring into fuller play the role of the civil society in promoting the development of world economy,

global economic governance and garnering

stronger popular support for international relations.

30. We hope that, as the current C20 concludes,

more civil society organizations are encouraged to focus their attention on major global development

issues supposedly in the realm of government

8


responsibilities and state agendas. Furthermore, when mutual understanding increases as a result of

interactions, a comparatively well-linked network

could be formed and a common action plan might take shape. Meanwhile, our relevance to the G20

needs to be further improved. As an engagement

group of the G20 Summit, We expect equal and sufficient attention from each and every G20

Presidency in the years to come. To ensure continuity and implementation of our initiatives,

we intend to follow the G20 format of “troika” for

closer communication and coordination among the host parties of the immediate past, present and

future C20’s in pursuit of a stable functioning

mechanism of cooperation.
