Title: A Crisis of Multilateralism: Inequality, Sustainable Development, and Climate Change

About the event

South Africa’s G20 presidency highlights the global “polycrisis” under the theme of solidarity, equality, and sustainability. Shifting geopolitical dynamics such as the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, reduced aid commitments, and Europe’s own energy challenges, pose urgent questions for the future of international cooperation. This event brings together leading voices to debate the role of multilateralism in addressing inequality, enabling just transitions, and shaping responses to climate change amidst these competing global pressures.
