Leaders attending the G20 summit in Johannesburg reached an agreement on a joint declaration despite the absence of American representatives, with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announcing the consensus during opening remarks at the Nasrec Expo Centre. The document emphasizes climate action, debt relief for developing nations, and reforms to international financial institutions, reflecting priorities championed by the host country during its historic presidency as the first African nation to lead the forum.

The declaration addresses clean energy transitions and climate financing targets while promoting gender equality and sustainable mineral extraction that benefits local communities. Ramaphosa characterized the outcome as validation that cooperative international frameworks can produce meaningful results, noting that delegates from major economies found common ground despite geopolitical tensions and the American boycott stemming from policy disputes with President Donald Trump's administration.

The agreement builds on recommendations from expert panels on African debt challenges and incorporates development financing frameworks established earlier in the year, keeping continental concerns on the agenda through 2030.
