With the international community increasingly at risk of being torn apart by the centrifugal force generated by the black hole at its center, Brazil making "Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet" the priorities for the G20 Summit it is hosting in Rio de Janeiro on Monday and Tuesday is a timely attempt to refocus the attention of the participating leaders on the common challenges countries are facing and what should be common goals. With most major stakeholders among them, the G20 members are obliged to take advantage of the Rio summit to coordinate macroeconomic policy to create an open, inclusive and nondiscriminatory environment for international economic cooperation. As a grouping consisting of both developed and developing countries, the G20 Summit provides major players on the world stage with a good platform to seek breakthroughs in advancing international cooperation in such areas as the elimination of poverty and hunger, and realizing worldwide green and low-carbon development.
