G20 Social Summit Closing Ceremony & Formal Presentation of the Summit Declaration | South Africa |

The G20 Social Summit, the first held on African soil under South Africa's presidency, convened representatives from 22 engagement groups, traditional leaders, and global figures including President Cyril Ramaphosa to address solidarity, equity, and sustainability. Key speeches highlighted civil society's role in reforming global governance, tackling inequality through taxing the super-rich, advancing climate justice, and prioritizing women's rights and child protection amid themes like digital inclusion and just transitions. The event produced a declaration and seven legacy projects, such as the Pan-African sovereign wealth fund, to guide G20 leaders toward inclusive development and Agenda 2063, fostering people-centered global cooperation.
