On 18 November 2024, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, together with Heads of State and Government, together with leaders of major international organisations, arrived at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro for the G20 Leaders’ Summit. Held under Brazil’s G20 Presidency, the summit brought together representatives of the world’s major economies to address key global challenges and strengthen international cooperation.

The first day of the summit focused on combating hunger and poverty, including the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, as well as reforming global governance institutions. The broader G20 agenda also placed strong emphasis on sustainable development, climate action and a just energy transition. The summit was held on 18 and 19 November 2024, with Brazil subsequently handing over the G20 presidency to South Africa.
