G20 leaders adopt Summit Declaration

Executive Summary

The G20 summit in Johannesburg has officially adopted a Leaders’ Declaration following consensus among Sherpas on Friday, despite a boycott by the United States. South African President Ramaphosa opened the event by stressing the importance of multilateralism, with the declaration focusing on addressing the climate crisis and other global challenges. As the US prepares to assume the G20 presidency after South Africa, the adoption without American participation highlights potential fractures in international cooperation.
