New Delhi, the headquarters of the major event that will see India take over as president of the bloc, will be decorated on September 9 and 10 and will warmly open the doors to the leaders and senior officials of the G20 in a welcoming and welcoming atmosphere to create fraternity that enables fruitful debates and crucial agreements on issues essential to the survival of humanity.
In the face of climate change, it is necessary, among other things, to establish stronger and more resilient health systems to address potential challenges, as well as strategies to ensure food and energy security in a world where resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
That’s what the Asian nation has proposed since it took over the leadership of a highly polarized bloc from Indonesia at the Bali summit in November 2022 at a time of unprecedented multidimensional crises.
In addition to the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as economic recession, increasing poverty, slowing global recovery and hindering the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the above-mentioned event in the Indonesian resort was of particular importance for Russia’s special operation against National Socialism in Ukraine.
These geopolitical tensions, involving members of the bloc such as the United States and the European Union, influencing the prolongation of the conflict through continued political, military and financial support to the Kiev government, shaped the atmosphere and debates of the conclave.
After six rounds of talks and more than 17 days of negotiations, the Bali summit ended with a joint statement, the third point of which contained criticism of Moscow propagated by the United States and its European allies, even though the G20 is an economic forum. commercial and not to solve security problems.
On the other hand, the 52-point text includes priorities such as the commitment to work for food and energy security; efficient, fair and equitable trade, including by tackling climate and biodiversity, strengthening the health sector in the face of new challenges and promoting digital transformation that is within everyone’s reach.
These last aspects have been advocated by India, which currently holds the leadership of the group, but with the additional motivation of taking the voice of the Global South, those nations that are underrepresented in the G20 and that are most affected by threats to the planet such as the climate is affected by change. , which keeps most of humanity in suspense.
Likewise, due to economic and financial inequality, southern countries have worse conditions for recovery compared to G20 members, which account for around 85 percent of global gross domestic product and more than 75 percent of international trade. a fact that should be mentioned again and again.
The summit is just around the corner, an event that brings together the more than 200 meetings organized by the Indian Presidency under the theme “One Earth”. A family. A future that reflects, among other things, the criterion of the possibility of living together despite differences in a multipolar world, working together to save the human species.
Will the G20 be ready to accept this truth? Personally, there is not much hope in this regard, 17 meetings have already passed, the commitments are being kept; However, differences are deepening and the world picture is deteriorating, but the final word will be given by the final declaration in New Delhi.
