A greater G20, and BRICS- by-BRICS, the Global South-led reform of international governance

4 Nov 2024

The G20, which started in response to the Asian financial meltdown of the late 1990s and was later elevated to a leaders’ summit after the global financial crisis in 2008, has evolved from being a talk shop to the political and economic steering committee for the world. More recently, though, the G20 has emerged as the primary forum for elevating the voice of the Global South. Brazil will host the next leaders’ summit on 18-19 November, having taken over from India in 2023, and will then pass the baton to South Africa. This will become the fourth consecutive year, starting with Indonesia in 2022, that the G20 presidency will be held by a country of the Global South. In these four years, the Global South agenda has been placed at the front and centre of global governance.
