Divided G20 fails to agree on climate, Ukraine
The risk of an escalation in the war in Ukraine and the prospect of a return of US President-elect Trump's isolationist "America First" policies also dominated the talks in Brazil
G20 leaders failed on Monday (November 18, 2024) to break a deadlock in UN climate talks at a summit in Rio that was dominated by divergences over the war in Ukraine and Donald Trump's impending return to the White House.
Ahead of the meeting, the UN had implored the leaders of the world's richest economies to rescue stalled climate talks in Azerbaijan by boosting funding for developing countries struggling with global warming.
