Group of 20

The Group of Twenty originated in response to global economic crises that necessitated urgent action and collaboration between the predominant world powers. From its origin, the Group of Twenty set a precedent of a collaboration between the elite countries of the world in order to subsequently prompt greater unity across the world overall. Beyond its economic origins, in recent years, the Group of Twenty has expanded its focus to cover a more broad variety of issues that are pressing the global community – allowing for diverse debate in a small setting.
