Dal 1° dicembre 2020, l’Italia detiene la Presidenza del G20, il foro internazionale che riunisce le principali economie del mondo.
Nel 2021 la comunità internazionale sarà chiamata a mostrare coraggio e ambizione per vincere le grandi sfide di oggi: dalla pandemia ai cambiamenti climatici, dal sostegno all’innovazione alla lotta contro povertà e disuguaglianze.
Il programma della Presidenza si articola intorno al trinomio People, Planet, Prosperity. Dobbiamo prenderci cura del pianeta e delle persone, assicurando una forte ripresa economica che sia al contempo inclusiva e sostenibile.
La Presidenza culminerà nel Vertice dei Leader G20, che si terrà a Roma il 30 e 31 ottobre.
La Presidenza italiana e la Commissione europea ospiteranno inoltre, insieme, il G20 Global Health Summit, che avrà luogo a Roma il 21 maggio, al massimo livello, e ci consentirà di affrontare le principali sfide connesse all’emergenza sanitaria.

In 2021 the international community will need to show courage and ambition in order to overcome the great challenges of today: from recovering from the pandemic to addressing climate change, from supporting innovation to overcoming poverty and inequality.
The Presidency's agenda rests upon three main pillars: People, Planet, Prosperity. We need to take care of people and of our planet, while ensuring a strong, inclusive and sustainable economic recovery.
The G20 will culminate in the Leaders’ Summit, which will be held in Rome on October 30th and 31st.
The Italian Presidency and the European Commission will also jointly host the G20 Global Health Summit, to be held in Rome on the 21st of May, at the highest level, enabling us to respond to the major challenges linked to the health crisis.
Many events will take place over the course of the year-long Italian Presidency, from institutional meetings (ministerial meetings and final Summit) to special events dedicated to the main issues of the global agenda, such as health, environmental sustainability, research and innovation, women’s empowerment and anti-corruption.
The intense schedule will embrace a large part of the country, highlighting many of the extraordinary realities scattered throughout its territory.
