Booklet

India assumes the G20 presidency in 2023. This juncture arrives as the post-pandemic global landscape contends with a multitude of challenges: geopolitical tensions, warfare, rising global debt, the impending spectre of recession, worldwide food insecurity, environmental crises encompassing climate and biodiversity, and the erosion of democratic spaces across multiple nations. However, the G20 proceedings unfold amidst a paradox, ostensibly championing itself as the ‘Mother of Democracy,’ even as hundreds of thousands are forcibly displaced for city beautification in preparation for the event.

Every city, every document now carries the logo of G20 and the presidency is being projected as an achievement by the present government to represent that the country has come on stage in global decision-making processes. This booklet attempts to provide an overview and explain the emergence and its impact on economic decision-making and subsequent impact on the people.
