The Summit allows leaders to debate the contours of a new global architecture capable of solving the issues of financing sustainable development, the environment, energy transition, and climate change.
The Summit aims to define the principles and steps required for comprehensive reform of the international financial system in the run-up to other important international events and conferences over the next two years, as well as pave the way for a more balanced and fair partnership between the North and the South.
