ABOUT THE G20

The G20 is the international forum that brings together the world’s major economies. Its members account for more than 80% of world GDP, 75% of global trade and 60% of the population of the planet. The forum has met every year since 1999 and includes, since 2008, a yearly Summit, with the participation of the respective Heads of State and Government. In addition to the Summit, ministerial and finance track deputies meetings, working groups and special events are organized throughout the year.

Participants The G20 members are: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. Spain is also invited as a permanent guest. Each year, the Presidency invites guest countries, which take full part in the G20 exercise. Several international and regional organizations also participate, granting the forum an even broader representation.

How the G20 works The G20 does not have a permanent secretariat: its agenda and activities are established by the rotating Presidencies, in cooperation with the membership. A “Troika”, represented by the country that holds the Presidency, its predecessor and its successor, works to ensure continuity within the G20. The Troika countries are currently Saudi Arabia, Italy and Indonesia.

Origins of the G20 In 1999, in the wake of the 1997 economic crisis, the G7 Finance Ministers announced the creation of the “Group of 20”, aimed at including other countries in their discussions related to global economics and finance. The first official meeting of the G20 was held in Berlin in December that same year. Following the 2008 financial crisis, the United States proposed to increase the level of participation of the G20 to Heads of State and Government. At the 2009 Pittsburgh Summit, the Heads of State and Government decided to institutionalize the G20 as the main forum for global economic and financial cooperation. The G20 Leaders have met every year since 2010.

ITALIAN G20 PRESIDENCY

PEOPLE PLANET PROSPERITY

The world is facing many difficult challenges today, which he G20 is intensely working to address, by identifying – and implementing – shared, coordinated and equitable responses. This requires vision, dialogue, mutual understanding, and a profound awareness of our common global responsibilities.

The pandemic has had profound impacts on the health of humans worldwide. It has affected peoples’ livelihoods, our economies, international trade. It has added its burden onto other systemic problems, from climate change to inequality, which are hampering our ability to fully prosper and express our potential. It has also made one thing clear: we live in an era in which local problems swiftly become global challenges. This, however, also means that we can work together to recover from this crisis and seize the opportunity to build back better, learning from our shared experience and ensuring that efficient, innovative tools and technologies become the basis for a more resilient, sustainable and greener growth.

In an increasingly interconnected world, multilateralism is far more than an abstract concept. It is the key to responding to these challenges, and the G20, bringing together much of the world’s population and of the global economy, must live up to its role. This is why the 2021 G20, under the Italian Presidency, will focus on three broad, interconnected pillars of action: People, Planet, Prosperity.

Within these pillars, we are taking the lead in ensuring a swift international response to the pandemic - able to provide equitable, worldwide access to diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines - while building up resilience to future health-related shocks.

We are also looking beyond the crisis, towards ensuring a rapid recovery that addresses people’s needs. This implies a focus on reducing inequalities, on women’s empowerment, on the younger generations and on protecting the most vulnerable. It means promoting the creation of new jobs, social protection and food security.

The G20 is also intent on paving the way to rebuilding differently in the aftermath of the crisis. More efficiently, through a better use of renewable energies and with a firm commitment to protecting our climate and our common environment.

This is a prerequisite for our sustained prosperity. A prosperous future, however, also requires that we properly harness the main drivers of growth and innovation. We are working to bridge the digital divide and make digitalization an opportunity for all, improve productivity and – in short – to leave no one behind.

FOREIGN AND DEVELOPMENT MINISTERIAL MEETINGS

On 29 June, the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and a joint session of the Foreign and Development Ministers will take place in Matera.

The increasing complexity of global challenges calls for an effective and coordinated governance and response system. Against this backdrop, the G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting is intended to provide an opportunity for substantive and informal discussion on the role of foreign policy in addressing the main challenges on the international agenda.

The Foreign Ministers' meeting will feature two sessions. The first session will focus on global governance and multilateralism as a key tool in addressing major global challenges and promoting a sustainable and resilient recovery. The international response to COVID has indeed confirmed the importance of a cooperative approach at the international level, as opposed to the formulation of “national” interventions. Discussions will focus on the need to strengthen international collaboration (and the related multilateral institutions) in key areas such as global health, sustainable development, climate change and international trade. Session two will be devoted to relations with the African continent, with a thematic focus on sustainable development, and will address the most appropriate policy measures in a range of important policy areas, such as the inclusion of young people and women, trade, the fight against climate change and energy transition.

In order to ensure alignment with the general narrative of the programme of the Italian G20 Presidency, both topics on the agenda have been developed along the lines of the three pillars “People, Planet, Prosperity” and in tune with the “build back better” theme, aimed at promoting a sustainable, inclusive and resilient recovery.

In this perspective, on 29 June, in the afternoon, a joint meeting of Foreign and Development Ministers will take place in Matera for the first time in the history of the G20, followed, again for the first time, by a specific session of Development Ministers only.

Through the G20 joint Foreign and Development Ministerial Meeting, the Italian Presidency intends to bring the issue of global food security and nutrition to the forefront of the international political agenda, thus providing the political impetus and momentum needed to ensure the taking of concrete actions for addressing recurring food crises and achieve the Zero Hunger target by 2030. In addition to G20 members and invited countries, the Director-General of FAO, the President of IFAD, the Executive Director of WFP and the heads of OECD, BIOVERSITY INTERNATIONAL- CIAT and CIHEAM - IAM Bari will also attend. The meeting will adopt the Matera Ministerial Declaration, a document affirming the G20's commitment to addressing current food emergencies and building resilient and sustainable food systems to achieve a world free of hunger by 2030. The Declaration, which enhances the role of the Food Coalition launched by Italy within the FAO, also reaffirms the commitment to promoting the “One Health” approach – the aim of which is to simultaneously preserve human, animal and environmental security as a way of

achieving global health – and the need for a special focus on women and young people to facilitate their empowerment in the proposed actions. The Development Ministerial Meeting will be held immediately following the G20 joint Foreign Affairs- Development Ministerial Meeting on Food Security and will focus on the priorities identified in the G20 Development Working Group in 2021: Financing Sustainable Development and Territorial Development and Localizing the SDGs. At the end of the meeting, a Communiqué will be issued to reaffirm the G20's commitment to support a strong post-pandemic, inclusive and sustainable recovery in developing countries, highlighting the G20's activities in the areas of innovative measures for financing development and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals based on a local approach to enhance the role of intermediate cities. These issues are also instrumental in addressing some of the key factors of food security and humanitarian crises that will be tackled by the joint Foreign and Development Ministerial Meeting and the Brindisi Ministerial Event. They are also closely linked to the ongoing discussions in the G20 Finance Track and other G20 tracks.

MINISTERIAL EVENT ON HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

On 30 June, the Ministerial event entitled “The role of logistics in preparedness and response for Covid- 19 pandemic and future humanitarian and health crises” will be held at the UN Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Brindisi, operated by the World Food Programme. The event will turn the spotlight onto the role played by logistics in the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic and future humanitarian and health crises and will be an important opportunity to share the “lessons learned” to date – also in light of the recent experience of the International Community in the fight against the pandemic – to strengthen the capacity of humanitarian preparedness and response. The experience of the Covid-19 pandemic has shown how an effective response cannot be separated from adequate preparedness and an efficient system of logistics. The initiative is linked to both health and food security, given the indirect effects of the pandemic on the food supply capacity of fragile countries. The meeting will be chaired by Minister Di Maio and WFP Executive Director Beasley and moderated by the President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and President of the Italian Red Cross, Francesco Rocca. The location chosen for the event will provide an opportunity to showcase the logistical capabilities and potential offered by the UNHRD depot, created in 2000, in a strategic position in the heart of the Mediterranean, thanks to a joint idea of the Italian Government and the WFP. This initiative proved farsighted and, on what has since become known as the “Brindisi Model”, other bases have been created in equally strategic regions of the world, which together form the UNHRD Network, namely, Accra (Ghana), Dubai (UAE), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Panama City (Panama) and Las Palmas (Spain). These bases offer a wide range of logistical services, from procurement to free storage of humanitarian goods and transport; field response, with the deployment of emergency response teams; training, with exercises and emergency drills for humanitarian workers; and innovation, in partnership with universities and private partners, to create new and improved logistical equipment and packaging of humanitarian goods and to develop environmentally sustainable logistical solutions. The UNHRD Network has agreements with and provides services to about 100 organisations, including UN agencies, governmental entities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The event will also highlight the “UN Global Service Centre", run by the UN Secretariat in New York, and adjacent to the humanitarian depot, which provides logistical support to UN peacekeeping operations. The main parties invited to the event are the competent ministers of the G20 member countries, the European Commissioner for Crisis Management Lenarcic, the competent ministers of the non-G20 member countries invited by the Presidency (Spain, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Niger), Libya, countries representing the African Union (Democratic Republic of Congo), NEPAD (Rwanda), and ASEAN (Brunei), as well as the Executive Directors of WHO and UNICEF, in view of the role these agencies have – complementary to that of WFP – in the logistical response to the Covid-19 pandemic and to present and future humanitarian crises. Finally, the Director-General of FAO and the President of IFAD. The event will conclude with a Presidency report that will be forwarded to G20 Leaders ahead of the October Summit.

The World Food Programme (WFP), headquartered in Rome, Italy, is the principal humanitarian organization and agency of the United Nations committed to saving and improving lives by providing food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. WFP was awarded the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts in fighting hunger, its contribution to

improving the conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and its work in leading efforts to prevent hunger from being used as a weapon of war and conflict. In 2020, WFP reached out and provided assistance to 115 million people – the highest number since its inception – in 88 countries. There are 5,600 trucks, 30 ships and about 100 planes of WFP on the move, every day, to provide food and other aid and assistance to those who need it most. Each year, the Programme distributes about 15 billion food rations, at an estimated cost of 61 US cents per ration. Funded entirely by voluntary donations, WFP raised a record $8 billion in 2019. The WFP has over 17,000 staff worldwide, of which over 90 per cent are based in the countries the Programme provides assistance to.

BARI

Bari is an Italian city of more than 322.000 inhabitants, capital of the Puglia Region and of the homonymous Metropolitan City. It is the ninth Italian municipality by population, the third in the South after Naples and Palermo. Its metropolitan area is the sixth in Italy with almost 1,300,000 inhabitants. Bari is also known for being the city where the relics of St. Nicholas are located. This condition has made Bari and its Basilica one of the best known centres of the Orthodox Church in the West and also an important inter-confessional hub between Orthodoxy and Catholicism.

Bari has a solid mercantile and entrepreneurial tradition and has always been a focal point in trade and political-cultural contacts with the Middle East area. In its metropolitan area Bari hosts 3 universities, the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute, 11 national research centres, 1 Fine Art Academy, 1 Conservatory of Music, 10 production districts and the 2nd industrial park of the Adriatic area. Bari is also headquarter to the CIHEAM research institute, an international multilateral organization that deals with post-graduate training, applied scientific research and planning in agriculture for the Mediterranean countries.

Its airport is one of the main Italian and European hubs and the port is the largest passenger port on the Adriatic area. In 2019 Bari was listed among the top 5 tourist destinations in Europe according to Lonely Planet and second destination in Puglia for number of tourist presences. From 1930 Fiera del Levante (East Fair) is held in Bari, it is one of the main trade fairs in Italy. More recently, the city has become the seat of the pan-European corridor secretariat.

The city is active in international and cross-border urban cooperation with particular reference to the URBACT III, INTERREG Greece-Italy, ADRION, MED, SEE, HORIZON programs and has hosted major international events in recent years including the Mediterranean Games, the bilateral Italian-Russian summit, the ANCI Assembly of Italian Municipalities, the financial summit of the G7 and the ecumenical prayer meeting promoted by Pope Francis for peace in the Middle East with the heads of the Christian Churches of the whole East.

MATERA

The outstanding blend of nature and culture makes Matera and its Sassi districts a landscape that is unique in the world. It was the first city in southern Italy to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 1993.

Matera is one of the oldest, continuously inhabited settlements on Earth, stratifying millennia of history into extraordinary cultural heritage. Rich in history and art, a crossroads of peoples and cultures, Matera is not only famous for its Sassi but also for its Baroque buildings and extensive Murgia plateau, dotted with primitive villages and stunning frescoed rock-hewn churches that make Matera the capital of rock civilization. Its landscapes have captivated photographers and directors: from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Mel Gibson who chose the city as the setting for The Passion.

The bond between the distant past and the future of Matera was formed in 2019 when it was nominated European Capital of Culture.

It is a city that looks to the future through the lens of culture and creativity for a new development plan combining tradition and innovation: from rock-cut caves to the Center for Space Geodesy - one of the main centers in the world studying changes in the dynamic Earth system. Matera is also embarking on a new project called The Emerging Technologies House in which ancient peasant dwellings are transformed into digital neighborhoods, with particular focus on the management of cultural and environmental heritage and sustainable tourism.

BRINDISI

Brindisi is a melting pot: its natural port, with its characteristic shape that consists in the head of a deer, has had a strategic role in the history of the Mediterranean Sea. Over the port, the two Ancient Roman columns still tower. In Brindisi, Virgil wrote his last verses, and he died in 19 A.D. in a house still situated at the top of the steps that were named after him. During the Crusades, Brindisi was an important religious point thanks to San Giovanni al Sepolcro, a XI- century temple which is a copy of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.

From the port you can see the two castles, the Alfonsine and the Swabian ones. The former demonstrated the Christian defense of the territory that has been carried on for many centuries; the latter is an evidence of the presence of Frederick II, who in 1225 married Yolande of Brienne in the cathedral. Brindisi was also the destination of the Valigia delle Indie, on the international travelling and trading route from London to Bombay. Brindisi has been the capital city of Italy for five months, and here the first democratic government legislated about freedom of press.

The city hosts the biggest urban park in Puglia, called the Cillarese Park. Only 17 kilometers away, there is Torre Guaceto, which was awarded with the Blue Park Award in 2020 among 16 of the best international oases.

In 1991, Brindisi was the protagonist of the biggest Albanian exodus, becoming a symbol of hospitality. In October 2020, the World Food Programme of the United Nations in Brindisi was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace, adding this last piece to the history of the city.
