The 17th G20 Summit closed in Bali this week with delegates from major economies debating solutions to a world grappling with energy crises, digital transformation gaps, and climate threats. CGTN Stringer captured insights from three young professionals across continents about their hopes for the forum:
Climate Action Now
'My generation will inherit either green progress or irreversible damage,' said Huang Lin, 28, a Beijing-based sustainability advocate. She emphasized China's Global Development Initiative as a potential blueprint for clean energy partnerships.
Bridging the Digital Divide
Berlin tech entrepreneur Anika Müller, 31, urged G20 leaders to prioritize digital infrastructure: 'Over 3 billion people still lack internet access. True innovation means creating equal opportunities in AI and fintech across Global South countries.'
Equity in Focus
Cape Town economics student Musa Ndlovu, 24, highlighted food security concerns: 'We need fair trade mechanisms that protect developing economies while maintaining global supply chains.'
As cross-border collaboration remains critical, youth advocates continue pushing leaders to translate summit commitments into measurable actions.
