In a groundbreaking move, the first-ever G20 Social Summit wrapped up in Rio de Janeiro this weekend, setting the stage for next week's high-stakes G20 leaders' gathering. Over 500 representatives from NGOs, youth groups, and grassroots organizations rallied for policies addressing inequality, climate action, and digital access gaps. 🗣️🌱
Why This Matters: For the first time, demands from marginalized communities—including Indigenous groups and gig economy workers—will directly shape the G20's official agenda. The summit's final document highlights urgent calls for affordable AI education and green job programs. 💡📈
What's Next: As world leaders prepare to meet, all eyes are on whether they'll adopt proposals like the \"Global Youth Skills Compact\" aimed at bridging the digital divide. With 65% of Gen Z saying international policies don't reflect their needs, this could be a turning point. 👀🌐
