Since December 1st, 2020, Italy holds the Presidency of the G20, the international forum that brings together the world's major economies.

In 2021 the international community will need to show courage and ambition in order to overcome the great challenges of today: from recovering from the pandemic to addressing climate change, from supporting innovation to overcoming poverty and inequality.

The Presidency's agenda rests upon three main pillars: People, Planet, Prosperity. We need to take care of people and of our planet, while ensuring a strong, inclusive and sustainable economic recovery.

The G20 will culminate in the Leaders’ Summit, which will be held in Rome on October 30th and 31st.

The Italian Presidency and the European Commission will also jointly host the G20 Global Health Summit, to be held in Rome on the 21st of May, at the highest level, enabling us to respond to the major challenges linked to the health crisis.
