G20 leaders meeting in Rio de Janeiro have made no progress in breaking the deadlock in negotiations at the parallel international climate summit COP29 in Baku, where it is supposed to decide how to find finance for adapting to climate change .
They did not even repeat in their joint statement the commitment in favor of a “just, orderly and just transition” to “exit from fossil fuels in energy systems”, made at the previous COP, in Dubai.
G20 in favor of “initiatives” for “just and lasting peace” in Ukraine
The G20 member countries are in favor of “every constructive initiative” to achieve a “just and lasting peace” in Ukraine, in a joint statement released at the summit of their leaders in Rio de Janeiro.
“We welcome all (…) constructive initiatives” to bring about a just and “lasting” peace in Ukraine, says a joint statement from the summit of the world’s 20 largest economies — which includes Russia.
What the G20 is asking for the owners of large assets
G20 leaders embrace the idea of taxing the owners of very large assets “effectively”, an initiative of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who currently presides over the group of the world’s twenty largest economies.
“With full respect for fiscal national sovereignty, we seek to work together effectively to ensure that owners of very large assets are taxed effectively,” the heads of state and government said in a joint statement at their summit in Rio de Janeiro.
The G20 communiqué on the “ceasefire” in Gaza and Lebanon
The G20 countries declare “united” that they “support the ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, in a joint statement they made public during the meeting in Rio de Janeiro.
“Expressing our deep concern at the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the escalation in Lebanon, we underline the urgent need to increase the flow of humanitarian aid and strengthen the protection of civilians,” the G20 member countries also emphasize economies of the world.

## Beyond the Summit: A Conversation About the Future
**Introduction:**
Welcome to World Today News. We’re joined today by two esteemed guests, [Guest 1 Name and Credentials] and [Guest 2 Name and Credentials], to dissect the recent G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. While the world’s leaders gathered, discussions on crucial issues like climate finance and global conflicts remained fraught with tension.
Let’s delve into the outcomes, the roadblocks, and the implications for our collective future.
**PART 1: The Stalemate in Climate Negotiations**

*(Addressing Guest 2)*

**Concluding Remarks:**
As we wrap up our conversation, I’d like to ask both guests, what are the most crucial takeaways from the G20 summit, and what key actions are needed in the coming months to translate words into concrete progress?
Thank you both for sharing your insights and expertise. This was a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion.
