The Director of the BRICS Policy Center (BPC\/PUC-Rio), Marta Fern\u00e1ndez, published an article on The Conversation Brasil website entitled: \u201cThe fight against inequality was the focus of an Afrocentric agenda at the G20 in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the article, the director explains that the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, marked a turning point by consolidating four consecutive presidencies by countries of the Global South and by presenting an Afrocentric declaration, inspired by Ubuntu. The declaration understands inequality, climate crisis, and indebtedness not as African problems, but as failures of the international system, and proposes measures such as debt-for-climate-action swaps.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the director points out that despite addressing inequality, the declaration avoids confronting the structural racism that shapes international politics, especially in light of the US boycott and land disputes in South Africa. With the end of the unprecedented cycle of leadership from the Global South and the return of the G20 to the US and the UK, she argues that greater cohesion is needed among countries of the South to prevent setbacks and sustain a more inclusive international order.<\/p>\nRead here<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
