Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>An informal meeting of the United Nations General Assembly plenary was held today in New York to hear a briefing by South Africa\u2019s G20 Sherpa, Zane Dangor, as the country assumes the G20 Presidency from 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025.<\/b><\/p>\n

The President of the General Assembly, Philemon Yang, emphasized the crucial role of the G20 in advancing global development goals. He stated, \u201cAs we advance the implementation of the Pact of the Future, the Group of 20 will be critical to ensuring that inequities are addressed, more resources are provided, and better terms for development lending are negotiated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs and UN Group of 20 Sherpa, underscored the G20\u2019s role in climate action. \u201cThe G20, as the world’s largest economies, holds a pivotal role in keeping the 1.5-degree temperature rise limit within reach,\u201d he said. Li added that South Africa\u2019s G20 Presidency presents an opportunity to strengthen collective actions for a successful COP30, particularly through partnerships like the Just Energy Transition Partnership.<\/p>\n

South Africa has set the theme for its G20 Presidency as. Addressing the UN plenary, Dangor elaborated on this vision: \u201cThrough solidarity, we seek to achieve a future that is people-centered, development-oriented, and inclusive.\u201d He highlighted the interconnectedness of global challenges and stressed the importance of fairness and equality. \u201cBy advancing equality, we seek to ensure fair treatment, opportunities, and the advancement of all individuals, peoples, and nations, irrespective of economic status, gender, race, geographic location, or any other characteristics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On sustainability, Dangor reinforced South Africa\u2019s commitment to policies that balance present needs with future generations. \u201cWe will be working to strengthen disaster resilience and responses. We are also focusing on means to ensure debt sustainability for low-income countries,\u201d he stated. He further outlined plans to assess the high cost of capital for African and developing nations, a significant barrier to their growth. \u201cThe aim is to develop a comprehensive strategy to assess why some countries face disproportionately high capital costs that hinder their development potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dangor also highlighted South Africa\u2019s focus on financing just energy transitions and harnessing critical minerals for inclusive and sustainable growth. Additionally, he welcomed the African Union\u2019s recent inclusion in the G20, calling it an \u201cimportant opportunity to amplify Africa\u2019s voice in global economic governance.\u201d He stressed that Africa\u2019s development priorities and the broader concerns of the Global South must be firmly embedded in the G20 agenda.<\/p>\n

The G20 is an intergovernmental economic forum comprising 19 countries and two regional unions\u2014the European Union and, as of 2023, the African Union. Collectively, it represents 85 percent of the global economy, 75 percent of world trade, and 67 percent of the global population. With South Africa at the helm, expectations are high for a G20 term that prioritizes inclusivity, sustainability, and equitable development for all.<\/p>\n
