A group of developing countries is pushing for a new economic world.
The group of developing countries, known as G77 plus China is gathering in Havana. Despite the name, the G77 includes more than 130 nations representing 80% of the global population. They are trying to establish a new economic world order and promote science, technology and innovation.
Joining the discussion:
- Zoon Ahmed Khan is a research fellow at the Center for China & Globalization.
- Benjamin Norton is Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Geopolitical Economy Report.
- Abdullahi Boru Halakhe is an Africa Security and Policy Analyst.
- Sourabh Gupta is a Senior Asia-Pacific international relations policy specialist, at the Institute for China-America Studies.
The world is failing developing countries:
From rising poverty to soaring debt.
From climate disasters to outdated global systems.
Today I urged the G77 & China to use their power to champion a system that delivers for all humanity. pic.twitter.com/VSTJ1XfV8e
