We ask that the G20 establish a Working Group made up of leading business and finance representatives, economists, Media representatives, trade unions, environmental NGO and representative community groups to advise the G20 on how the transformation to a Steady State Economy might best be carried out and what international financial agreements or reforms need to be established in order that this transition is done with equity and without social and ecological turmoil.

Economics needs to become an evidence based social science which takes evidence from the natural sciences into account. If economists keep ignoring evidence from the natural sciences and social sciences, then their claims to relevance and credibility fail.
As a physician deeply committed to global human health, I strongly believe that a movement away from growth to a steady state/sustainable economy, is necessary for human survival. Your attention and action in this matter are greatly appreciated.
Since we 7.3 billion humans are collectively already overconsuming the planet's biocapacity by 50% how can more economic growth and more population growth achieve anything other than a possible short term gain and a certain long term disaster?
No one has yet thought how to persuade those creating wealth that creating less wealth, as they will see it, is a good idea, yet without a steady state, efforts to combat environmental damage are akin to cooling a fire by putting logs on it.
If the transition from the Growth Economy to the Steady State Economy is not planned and happens because of a massive, everlasting depression, the consequences for our kids and grand-kids are going to be disastrous. I hope the G20 will be positive and proactive.

November 20, 2020 Dear G20 Leaders: Happy Saturday, November 21, 2020. I hope everyone will have the most magnificent magical Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My name is Michael De Shannon, and I am a member of the United Nations Association – USA. I am living in Las Vegas, Nevada - USA. I write to you to ask for your help on our world human rights about financial problems. It is the highest honor that G20 leaders try to promote international financial stability. The most excellent way to have our world financial balance is to reform the United Nations International Law to help everybody in the world have financial freedom and peaceful life forever. We need to end all low-class and middle-class lifestyles as quickly as possible. We need to live only in the highest-class lifestyle world. This human right needs to be a priority, and it needs to be justice. Additionally, Mr. Secretary-General U.N. Foundation António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres needs to update the International Law on this United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 75 2020 without delay. The United Nations Foundation needs to create a treasure department to legally give all people in the world trillions and trillions (U.S. dollars) or the world currencies in their bank account to enjoy the real paradise lives. The United Nations Foundation also need to control all world government treasury department as well. Thus, the United Nations Foundation will have more power to keep world peace and helps people in the world to live with highest-class lifestyles forever. This human right needs to be a priority, and it needs to be justice. We need to end all low-class and middle-class lifestyles as quickly as possible. We need to live only in the highest-class lifestyle world.

The addiction to economic growth over the past two hundred years, for all its perceived benefits, is responsible for the threat to human survival today. Mankind's only hope of survival is to break the addiction.
