Timeline of Events (November 18, 2024)
- G20 Leaders' Summit begins in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The summit, under Brazil's presidency, focuses on combating hunger and poverty, promoting sustainable development, and reforming global governance. Notable events include the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty and the adoption of the Rio de Janeiro Declaration on International Tax Cooperation.
- UN Climate Summit continues, with activists demanding action. Calls for phasing out fossil fuels, increasing climate financing for developing nations, and ensuring a just transition to clean energy intensify. The urgency of the climate crisis is underscored by reports of record-breaking global temperatures and accelerated polar ice melt.
- Ukraine-Russia conflict escalates as the U.S. changes policy. The U.S. now permits Ukraine to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets within Russia. This policy shift increases fears of Russian retaliation and a broadening of the conflict, drawing concerns from the international community.
- Humanitarian crises worsen in Gaza, Lebanon, and the Philippines. Ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon create dire situations, while recent natural disasters in the Philippines exacerbate existing humanitarian challenges. The International Red Cross highlights a significant funding gap, hindering their ability to provide crucial aid.
