Lessons learned? World leaders gather for Rome G20 amid calls for greater global cooperation

The Independent  

Not far from central Rome’s patchwork of cobblestones, narrow alleys and mass tourism is the lesser-known district of wide avenues and clean architectural lines set to play host to the G20 summit this weekend. Headed by Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the summit follows months of meetings and talks on some of the world’s most pressing issues, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and food security. “After a lot of commentary in recent weeks about the state of the transatlantic relationship, the United States and Europe head into these two summits aligned and united on the major elements of the global agenda,” Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told the press, referring to the G20 and UN Climate Change Conference. “If countries like the US, UK, Australia, Italy and Canada want the world to take them seriously as climate leaders, they need to deliver on the $100 billion annual they promised in 2009 to help countries that have historically emitted vastly less emissions cope with the life-shattering impacts of climate change,” said Avaaz campaign director Oscar Soria. “If we are to expect other countries to make good on their climate commitments rich nations must show leadership by delivering on their promises.” open image in gallery Italy’s Prime Minister, Mario Draghi greets Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Members of the Thunberg-inspired Fridays For Future movement are expected to take to Rome’s streets on Saturday to demand tangible action against climate change.
