Africa is stepping into the global spotlight. With its population accounting for nearly one-fifth of the world's total and the youngest population on the globe, the continent is shaping our shared future. After years of being sidelined, Africa's voice is finally gaining traction.

The African Union's inclusion in the G20 last year was a historic milestone, signaling a shift towards fairer representation for Africa and the Global South. Partnering with nations like China, African countries are advocating for climate action and tackling shared challenges head-on.

With South Africa set to lead the G20 next year, Africa's influence will only grow. This isn't just Africa's moment – it's a game-changer for the entire Global South.
