Most countries face economic crises that are increasing poverty, inequality and hunger. Countries do not have the resources to deal with the impacts of climate change.
The webinar, is part of a series on priority appeals for action to the G20 from global religious institutions to address hunger, poverty, inequality and climate change. This November 2024, Brazil hosts the G20 presidential summit. This summit is the last before #Jubilee2025 declared by Pope Francis and interfaith leaders. Religious leaders and communities around the world are organizing to move the G20 to take urgent action. The coming Jubilee year arrives in a world facing unprecedented challenges and threats: a worsening climate, reversals in poverty reduction, rising inequality and intensifying wars and conflicts.
The webinar, bringing together global leaders from different regions and traditions, will address how the G20 is a key actor in the upcoming Jubilee Year on debt, climate, tax and poverty.
