Ahead of G20, FEPS president at the T20 and C20 Summit 2024

15/11/2024

FEPS President Maria João Rodrigues actively participated in the T20 and C20 Summits 2024, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

On 11-12 November, the T20 Brasil community convened alongside G20 representatives for the T20 Brasil Summit. Over these two days, FEPS President Maria João Rodrigues joined leaders of national and international think tanks, members of academia, representatives of the public and private sectors, and civil society to deliberate on the principal policy recommendations developed by the T20 throughout the year for G20 leaders.

FEPS President Maria João Rodrigues was invited as a representative of the foundation to be part of the T20 Brasil’s International Advisory Council. The T20 is a G20 engagement group that brings together think tanks and research centres from G20 members.

FEPS has been working closely with the T20 Brazil organising Committee, coordinators, and other members of the T20 Brazil’s International Advisory Council to advocate for a New Global Deal by presenting proposals within its new book “A New Global Deal: Reforming world governance“.

FEPS also co-ordinated with T20 co-ordinator Institute for Applied Economic Research (Ipea) during the #SummitoftheFuture Action Days discussing the inputs of the T20 Communiqué to G20 leaders.

Together with the Brazilian Presidency of the G20, FEPS, on behalf of the Progressive family, has been facilitating and opening dialogue across all continents on the urgent need to reform global governance and policies to address the current global challenges.

Following the T20 Summit, the C20 Summit 2024 marked the conclusion of Brazil’s presidency of the G20 civil society engagement group. During the event, C20 representatives formally presented the “Policy Pack” to the Brazilian government. This strategic document, prepared by thematic working groups over the past year, outlines critical recommendations on issues including climate justice, poverty eradication, gender equality, and global financial reform.

As part of the C20 Summit, Maria João Rodrigues participated in the panel discussion “The global challenges ahead of us,” which also launched the C20 Declaration on Global Peace.

The G20 Leaders’ Summit took place on 18-19 November in Rio de Janeiro.

Read “A New Global Deal“, part of FEPS ‘UNited for’ flagship project in the thematic area of Europe and the world and devoted to a New Global Deal in 2023 and 2024.
