The coronavirus pandemic and climate change have been top of the agenda for the G20 summit in Saudi Arabia.


G20 members represent around 80 per cent of the world’s economic output, two-thirds of global population and three-quarters of international trade.

The members of the G20 international forum - 19 nations plus the European Union - have wrapped up their summit in Saudi Arabia, as the presidency passes from that country to Italy.

Not surprisingly, COVID-19 and climate change were the major issues under discussion by the world's leaders, who were attending virtually.
