The G-20 Summit was held in
Brisbane, Australia over the weekend where world leaders discussed a uniquely
diverse set of issues. While the G-20 is comprised of the world’s largest
economies, and global economic policy always dominates the discussions, other
issues were prevalent this year. First, the continued isolation of Russian
President Vladimir Putin was obvious as he continues to support unrest in
Ukraine. Also, as a show of President Obama’s clout at the summit, a statement
on climate change was included in the final communiqué, despite Australian Prime Minister Abbott’s attempt to scrap it from
the official agenda.
The L.A. Times
reviews the unique issues discussed at this year’s G-20 Summit.
