The G20 (Group of 20) is an international forum of governments and central bank governors of 19 countries, with the European Union and the African Union. Together they account for over 85% of the global GDP. This combined economic weight gives them the potential to shape global financial, trade, development and fiscal policies to address global economic and environmental challenges.
The lead-up to and days of the G20 Summit present a platform for people on the frontlines of inequality to voice demands for a new economic model and an institutional architecture that realigns economic benefits in the interests of people, planet, peace and democracy. Movements and civil society groups will use the opportunity to raise issues and demands. FIA will coordinate collective actions nationally and globally and to amplify demands for a radically different vision for our economies and societies than the current international financial architecture.
