Leaders from the Global South made waves this week at the G77+China Summit in Havana, Cuba, where over 80% of the world’s population found a voice. 🎤 With themes of economic justice and climate action front and center, the event highlighted how developing nations are rewriting the rules of global cooperation. \"We’re trapped in crises not of our making,\" UN chief António Guterres warned, calling the group a \"beacon of hope\" against rising inequality.
🌱 From debt relief to green tech, the summit tackled Generation Z’s biggest worries: Can the Global South thrive amid climate chaos and economic instability? China’s delegation, led by senior leader Li Xi, doubled down on partnerships like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), promising \"stronger solidarity\" through infrastructure projects and sustainable development. 💡 Think solar farms in Kenya or high-speed rail in Southeast Asia—collabs that are straight out of a UN sustainability wishlist.
🤯 But it’s not all smooth sailing. Nations face \"geopolitical headwinds\" and debt crises, yet the summit’s vibe? All about solutions. As one attendee put it: \"This isn’t just talk—it’s a blueprint for a fairer world.\" ✨
