What are the key highlights of the latest G20 summit held this year?

There hasn’t been a G20 leaders’ summit in 2026 yet. As of October 15, the latest summit already held was in Johannesburg, South Africa, on November 22–23, 2025.

It was the first G20 summit hosted on the African continent. Under the theme “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,” leaders put several issues affecting developing economies near the center of the discussions:

• Debt and development: The declaration called for more sustainable ways to address debt burdens and improve financing for developing countries.
• Climate and disaster resilience: Leaders highlighted the need to prepare for climate-related disasters and strengthen resilience, while continuing discussion on climate finance.
• Critical minerals: The summit addressed how resource-rich countries can gain more lasting economic value from critical minerals, rather than relying only on raw-material exports.
• Africa’s priorities: Food security, infrastructure, inclusive growth, and a stronger voice for African countries in global decision-making featured prominently.

The Johannesburg summit also stood out because leaders adopted a declaration despite divisions among major powers. So, if you meant a summit held during 2026, there are no summit highlights to report yet; the points above are from the most recent meeting that had taken place by this date.
