After his presentation in this session, Brazil’\u2019 Vice President and Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services Geraldo Alckmin delivered a speech at the B20, emphasizing that global trade needs to be fairer and more inclusive, in line with what he and other ministers agreed upon this week during the final meeting of G20 trade ministers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday we celebrate the relationship between government and the private sector,\u201d he said, adding that companies are the \u201cdriver\u201d of the global economy. \u201cThe recommendations that the B20 sends to the G20 reflect key topics of the global economy,\u201d Alckmin said, noting that the G20 agrees with the topics presented as priorities by the B20, including the reform of global trade, the development of green infrastructure, innovation, and the promotion of gender equity. \u201cAll countries need the WTO, but some depend on it even more,\u201d he said about the World Trade Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair<\/strong> trade relations<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn the first debate of the day, \u201cLeveraging Trade to Promote Prosperity and Combat Hunger,\u201d the president of the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI), Ricardo Capelli, advocated for a fairer and more balanced global trade, saying that \u201cprotectionism has been on the rise in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Executives from Brazilian companies who formed a private sector task force also called for instruments and improvements in the global trade system, presenting suggestions for the government leaders who will meet at the G20 in Rio de Janeiro on November 18 and 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the panel \u201cCrafting the Agenda: Recommendations for Changing Directions from the B20 to the G20,\u201d the task force led by Embraer CEO Francisco Gomes Neto presented conclusions and suggestions for G20 economies to move toward a less unequal and more sustainable world. One of the conclusions, Gomes Neto said, was the recovery of the WTO, including the creation of a council for the organization that could arbitrate international trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this task force, priorities such as investment in education, digital inclusion, and the inclusion of girls in education and career advancement opportunities emerged. \u201cNo one should be left behind,\u201d said Paula Bellizia, vice president of Amazon Web Services for Latin America, emphasizing a theme that was mentioned several times during the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The challenges of global warming were highlighted by Ricardo Mussa, CEO of Ra\u00edzen, who also joined the task force and pointed out Brazil as a country that can be a global leader in the energy transition. Starting in 2030, he said, the world needs to generate three times more energy from renewable sources. Biofuels can serve as a transitional source during this period, and global energy efficiency must increase to address these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
