Ever wondered if global summits can spark real change? 🤔 The 20th G20 Summit just wrapped up today, November 23, in Johannesburg, South Africa—the first time the gathering landed on African soil. This year’s theme, “Solidarity, Equality & Sustainability,” aimed to tackle shared challenges from hunger to climate change.
Among the hopeful voices is Slava Klishauskaite, a Russian student at Peking University on the Chinese mainland. After seven years of studying abroad, she’s been impressed by what she’s experienced and is rooting for the summit to go beyond speeches. “It’s amazing to see world leaders talk about inequality and poverty,” she says, “but I really want to see concrete steps—like real funding for climate projects and fair trade deals for farmers.”
Young people across South and Southeast Asia—from Manila’s co-working spaces to Delhi’s startup hubs—are echoing Slava’s call. They’re tech-savvy, socially conscious, and eager for policies that translate into solutions. Whether it’s support for clean energy or programs that combat food insecurity, the ask is clear: turn grand slogans into local action! 🌍💡
What’s next? We’ll be watching if the summit’s big promises make a real impact. Drop your thoughts: what concrete change do you want to see after #G20Summit 2025? 🙌
