This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first G20 Summit, held in Washington in 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis. At the 2018 G20 Summit, held Nov. 30-Dec. 1 in Buenos Aires under the auspices of the Argentina Presidency, world leaders faced a different set of challenges, from persistent hunger to the eruption of trade wars. They worked to build consensus on a range of topics including the future of work, infrastructure for development, the need for gender mainstreaming in global agendas, and a sustainable food future.
