The G20 is an international forum for governments and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union. It addresses major issues related to the global economy, such as international financial stability, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development. The C20 Conference brings together various stakeholders to discuss these critical issues and provide recommendations to G20 leaders.
