The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), the Institute for Global Dialogue (IGD) and the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation (IPATC) successfully convened the T20 South Africa Summit in Johannesburg on 13-14 November 2025.
Over two impactful days, the summit gathered leaders in government, national and international think tanks, distinguished academics and representatives from the public, private and civil society sectors. Our collective purpose was to deliberate on the critical policy recommendations formulated by the T20 engagement group throughout the year and formally present the final Communiqué to the G20 South Africa. The event featured insightful keynote speakers, engaging panel discussions and breakaway sessions, providing ample opportunities for networking.
The T20 Communiqué delivers high-impact, solutions-driven, and implementation-focused policy recommendations to the G20. This essential document draws on the collective expertise of the T20's five Task Forces, covering crucial areas: Trade and Investment, Digital Transformation, Financing for Sustainable Development, Solidarity for the Achievement of the SDGs and Accelerating Climate Action and the Just Energy Transition.
