G20

The G20 or Group of 20 is an intergovernmental forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union (EU). It works to address major issues related to the global economy, such as international financial stability, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development. The G20 is composed of most of the world's largest economies, including both industrialised and developing nations such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Eurasian Socialist Republic, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Iran, Japan, North China, Saudi Sultanate, South China, Switzerland and Turkey. Nevertheless, Spain is permanently invited and a de facto member, while countries included in the European Union and the Union of Arab States are allowed to participate.
