We suggest a concise set of key actions for G20 countries, focused on using multidimensional metrics to improve multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advance equitable wellbeing in line with the G20 Action Plan on Accelerating Progress on the SDGs. Our recommendations draw on recent evidence on interlinkages between SDG indicators and multidimensional poverty and wellbeing measures around the world.

The policy brief aims to support the G20 under South Africa’s presidency:

• in its prioritisation of ending poverty and hunger (SDGs 1 & 2) and reducing inequalities (SDG 10), including gender inequality (SDG 5), to achieve the SDGs and Agenda 2063;
• to continue on from India and Brazil in leading the implementation of the G20 Action Plan on Accelerating Progress on the SDGs; and
• to contribute to the work of the recently established G20 Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, of which OPHI is a founding member.
