US EditionG20 leaders reach consensus on major global challenges in declaration
G20 leaders endorsed a voluntary Critical Minerals Framework and committed to tripling renewable capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030, addressing major energy access gaps.
- On Saturday at the Johannesburg two-day gathering, G20 leaders adopted the G20 South Africa Summit Leaders' Declaration at the 20th Group of 20 Summit, reaching consensus on disaster resilience, debt sustainability, just energy transitions and critical minerals.
- The declaration warns that increasingly frequent and intense disasters are undermining development and overstretching national capabilities and the international system, highlighting the need for integrated, people-centered approaches to protect vulnerable small island developing states and least developed countries.
- On critical minerals, the G20 endorsed a Critical Minerals Framework as a voluntary guide for sustainable value chains and stressed mineral wealth should foster value-addition and broad-based development, with voluntary technology transfer on mutually agreed terms.
- Leaders supported targets to triple renewable capacity and double energy-efficiency by 2030, urging scaled-up investment and low-cost financing for developing countries while noting over 600 million Africans without access to electricity.
- Adopted at the Johannesburg venue, the declaration aims to channel critical minerals and technologies into industrialization and inclusive growth by promoting transparent, stable and resilient value chains and influencing policy and investment decisions.
