The G20 Rio Summit: sustainability in focus
N ovember is shaping up to discussion. While the world’s biggest climate conference, the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, will take place in Azerbaijan from 11–22 November, the 19th G20 Summit will also run during this period, on 18–19 November. While the G20 summit traditionally concentrates on economic and financial issues, this year’s host nation, Brazil, has decided be the most influential month of 2024 for climate-based diplomacy and collaborative to make sustainability the central theme. Participants will address the biggest challenges facing our shared global environment. Under the theme ‘Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet’, this year’s summit agenda will prioritise topics that cut right to the heart of social inclusion, equality and the shared rights of all
