The facilitation group of the International Forum of national NGO platforms: calling for the G20 to deliver fundamental and far-reaching reforms of the global economic system

pt

G20 Leaders will meet in Cannes at the beginning November to discuss a range of global challenges, including a possible second global economic crisis in just three years.

These crises have been produced by the politics of deregulations implemented over the last thirty years without any wariness. The consequences of unregulated market economy are now more evident: increasing of inequalities, increasing of tax heavens and tax avoidance, budget deficits, unemployment, exclusion, all this plus a huge environmental destruction.

To date, the G20 has not delivered the fundamental reforms that the world needs and the upcoming G20 summit is a critical test, a test of the G20’s ability to make significant progress toward addressing the multiple crises facing the world.

Developed economies are experiencing acute macroeconomic stress leading to rapidly rising unemployment, large budget deficits and a decrease in the provision of public services. At the same time, developing countries continue to feel the impact of the last global crisis and are experience a ‘perfect storm’ of food, climate and economic crises.

We, members of the International Forum of national NGO platforms, representing thousands of civil society organizations in both G20 and non-G20 countries, are calling for the G20 to deliver fundamental and far-reaching reforms of the global economic system; reforms that will ensure inclusive and sustainable development and deliver real opportunities for all citizens.

Global civil society is also calling for the G20 to become more transparent and accountable to all citizens for the decisions it makes and the policy is chooses to pursue.
