As the world braces for another G20 Leaders Summit, the focus is on the agenda of the meeting and what it seeks to achieve. The leaders of the top economies come together to discuss important issues that affect the global economy, and this year's summit is no exception. It is set to take place on November 30 - December 1, 2018, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The theme for this year's summit is 'Building Consensus for Fair and Sustainable Development'. As always, there will be a lot of ground to cover in the two-day summit. Some of the issues on the agenda include global trade, international financial regulation, and infrastructure investment. The summit will also discuss topics such as countering terrorism and climate change, among others.
Trade and Protectionism
One of the biggest issues on the agenda this year is trade. The US-China trade war and the imposition of tariffs by both sides have raised concerns among other G20 members. The summit aims to address these concerns and promote free trade among member countries. The leaders will discuss the importance of the World Trade Organization and the need to strengthen it. They also aim to find ways to address trade imbalances and promote sustainable development through increased investment.
Tackling Climate Change
The G20 summit has also been criticized for not doing enough to address climate change. This year, the issue is expected to take center stage. Leaders are expected to discuss ways to implement the Paris Climate Agreement and promote renewable energy. There will also be discussions on reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable development.
Investing for the Future
The G20 summit provides an opportunity for world leaders to address pressing issues related to the global economy. Infrastructure investment is one of those issues. Investing in infrastructure can help promote inclusive economic growth, create jobs and stimulate innovation. Leaders will discuss ways to increase infrastructure investment and promote sustainable development. Another important issue on the agenda is the development of the digital economy. Participants will share experiences and discuss best practices to promote the growth of the digital economy while ensuring that it benefits everyone.
The G20 summit is an important platform for world leaders to come together and address pressing issues affecting the global economy. With the theme of 'Building Consensus for Fair and Sustainable Development', this year's summit is expected to create a consensus on important issues related to trade, climate change and infrastructure investment. The outcomes of the summit will shape policies and influence the global economy for years to come.
