Rio de Janeiro \u2013 On November 13, the Novotel Rio de Janeiro Porto Atl\u00e2ntico will host the Civil Society 20 (C20) Summit, marking the conclusion of Brazil\u2019s chapter in the civil society engagement group for the G20 and the official handover of the Policy Pack\u2014a set of strategic policy recommendations for G20 member countries. The event also symbolizes the transition of the C20 presidency to South Africa, which will lead the G20 in 2025.<\/p>\n

The C20 Summit takes place in the same week as the G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit, also in Rio de Janeiro, aiming to influence discussions on pressing global issues, such as fighting hunger, gender equality, climate justice, reforming the financial architecture, and anti-racism initiatives. Over the year, ten thematic C20 working groups held meetings to set priorities and finalize the policy package, which will be presented to the Brazilian government.<\/p>\n

The recommendations include measures such as taxing large fortunes, reforming the global financial system, eradicating poverty, achieving climate justice through energy transition, and implementing accountability mechanisms within the G20. Topics such as gender equality, anti-racism, disability rights, and human rights are integral to all recommendations.<\/p>\n

The event has confirmed the attendance of significant representatives from various sectors, including Felipe Hees, Brazil\u2019s Sous Sherpa for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Eliane Aquino, National Secretary of Citizenship Income; and Ariadne Ribeiro, representing UNAIDS, among others.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Brazilian edition of the C20 brings together over 2,500 participants representing 1,700 civil society organizations from 91 countries. The C20 presidency in Brazil is held by the Brazilian Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (ABONG), led by Henrique Frota, while the role of sherpa is held by Alessandra Nilo, co-founder of Gestos \u2013 Soropositividade, Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e G\u00eanero, who is responsible for the group\u2019s political articulation and advocacy with governments.<\/p>\n
