🌍 Ever wondered how global powerhouses tackle the big challenges of our times? This weekend, G20 leaders are gathering in Johannesburg for the first-ever Africa summit under the theme "Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability."
On Saturday (Nov. 22), they adopted the "G20 South Africa Summit: Leaders' Declaration," agreeing on four major areas: stronger disaster resilience, debt sustainability, just energy transitions, and critical minerals. It’s all about building a safer, fairer, and greener future!
Leaders warned that more frequent and intense disasters are hitting development hard and stretching response systems to the limit. They highlighted the need for integrated, people-centered approaches—especially for vulnerable small island developing states and least developed countries. 🌊🏝️
By putting these priorities front and center, the G20 aims to boost national capabilities and international cooperation. From debt relief for struggling economies to cleaner energy plans, this declaration sets the stage for concrete action.
Stay tuned as the summit wraps up on Sunday—these decisions could reshape the path to sustainable growth and resilience around the world. 💡✨
