Hunger, Poverty, Climate, Debt and Economy on Agenda for Biden's Final G20 Meeting
Brazil hosts G20 heads of state and heads of international organizations in Rio de Janeiro for two days of talks on the global economy, starting November 18. The summit wraps up Brazil’s presidency of the group and prioritizes initiatives on global hunger and poverty, climate change, debt and the reform of financial institutions.
“Brazil is focusing on the need for the global economy to address poverty, inequality and climate issues,” said Eric LeCompte, Executive Director of the religious development organization Jubilee USA Network who is in Rio for the meetings. “The lack of G20 consensus on debt policy remains a stumbling block to reduce poverty and the impacts of climate change.”
LeCompte is in Brazil with the G20 Interfaith Forum presenting recommendations to the G20 on debt, poverty, climate, economic and human trafficking challenges.
