"US president Donald Trump’s efforts to derail a successful wrap-up of the G20
summit in Johannesburg failed. Trump boycotted the meeting and the US told
other countries through diplomatic channels not to sign a communiqué.
Nevertheless, the 19 remaining countries and regional organisations signed a
30-page declaration. This called for, among other things, increased funding for
renewable energy projects, more equitable critical mineral supply chains and
debt relief for poorer countries. Senior research fellow Danny Bradlow explains
what was, and wasn’t, achieved."
