I recently purchased a second hand 13” MacBook Pro 2020 and it did not include an Apple USB-C cable and charging brick.
The highest wattage charger I have on hand is an Anker 20w fast-charger cube meant for fast charging an iPhone Pro.
Would the Anker 20w, USB-C to USB-C cable suffice to charge up, and will it be safe for the MacBook Pro using it?
MacBook Pro 13” M1 2020 expects a 61 watt charger, or higher.
20 watts won’t damage anything, but it’s going to charge that Mac very slowly, if at all.
Hi,
I think you can and it's safe, though you should get proper charger for 2020 MacBook Pro.

Go Apple-for-Apple:
For such expensive Apple Devices, I always use Apple name brand chargers. So, find the correct one using the previous replies, and stick with that.
Getting an Optimum Charge:
If you use a charger that has more watts than what is intended for your Mac, then that would not increase the charge speed. On the other-hand, if you go below the wattage, you won't make optimum use of you charging capabilities.
