G20 Leaders met in Bali on 15-16 November 2022, highlighting once more the importance of a strong international cooperation to address the recent challenges and this time of unparalleled multidimensional crises. Leaders further committed towards improved financial cooperation to achieve the SDGs and strengthening international cooperation to find a common solution to the current energy and environmental crises, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Important commitments were also put forward towards the recovery, development, and empowerment of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and start-ups, particularly to reinforce international trade and investment cooperation to address supply chain issues and avoid trade disruptions, while strengthening knowledge-based economies and intellectual property rights. G20 leaders also underlined the importance of fostering sustainable development of human capacity, labour markets, and productivity, including through community-based vocational education and training, to advance job creation through entrepreneurship, to empower MSMEs.
Finally, the Declaration commits to the elimination of gender-based violence, the enhancement of social, health, care and educational services, and the overcoming of gender stereotypes, continuing to advance women’s and girls’ equal access to inclusive and quality education, including participations in STEM education, women entrepreneurship through MSMEs, and women’s and girls’ access in leadership positions.
