[Em Vicky Khan]

The G20 Summit 2025 came at a time when the world is facing multiple crises — economic slowdown, rising inflation, climate change, and global conflicts. Hosted in Rome, Italy, this year’s summit witnessed participation from the world’s most powerful leaders including US President, China’s Premier, Indian Prime Minister, and European Union representatives.

Economic Recovery Plan
One of the central themes was the post-pandemic economic recovery. Leaders agreed on establishing a Global Trade Reform Council, which will focus on lowering tariffs, reducing supply chain bottlenecks, and ensuring equitable vaccine distribution for future pandemics.

Climate Change Commitments
Perhaps the biggest achievement was on climate action.

Countries pledged to cut 40% of carbon emissions by 2035.

$500 billion fund established to support developing nations in shifting towards renewable energy.

Major oil-producing nations like Saudi Arabia also agreed to diversify their economies.

Digital Security and AI Regulation
Another historic move was the agreement on artificial intelligence regulation. With AI becoming a central part of global industries, leaders emphasized:

Preventing misuse of AI in weapons and cyber warfare.

Creating global ethical standards for AI in healthcare and finance.

Launching a Global Cybersecurity Taskforce to counter rising cyberattacks.

Global Reactions
The summit received mixed reactions worldwide:

Environmental activists praised the climate pledges but called for faster deadlines.

Economists welcomed trade reforms but warned about geopolitical rivalries.

Citizens across social media hailed the AI regulation agreement as “future-proofing humanity.”

Conclusion
The G20 Summit 2025 could mark a turning point in global cooperation. However, the success of these agreements will depend on implementation, not just promises. If followed through, this summit might be remembered as the moment the world united to tackle the greatest challenges of our time.
