Facilitating market development across the G77
The Group of Seventy-Seven (G77) is an intergovernmental organization comprising 134 developing countries from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Established to promote collective economic interests and enhance joint negotiating capacity within the United Nations, the G77 focuses on addressing global economic challenges, fostering international cooperation, and supporting sustainable development. The G77's agenda encompasses a wide range of critical issues, including economic policy coordination, trade, climate change, global health, and security. By fostering dialogue among its members, the G77 aims to build consensus on policies that drive sustainable economic growth and development. Additionally, the G77 engages with non-member countries and international organizations to collaboratively address global challenges. In recent years, the G77 has prioritized contemporary issues such as digital transformation, pandemic response, and environmental sustainability. Notably, the G77 plays a crucial role in the energy transition, advocating for a shift to renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting energy efficiency to combat climate change. Through its annual meetings and ongoing discussions, the G77 continues to shape global policies, supporting a more interconnected, resilient, and sustainable world economy.
