What is the Y20?

The Y20 and Y7 summits are official engagement groups of the G20 and G7 summits. The Y20 and Y7 summits are premier international youth conferences that bring together young leaders representing the G7 and G20 countries. The conferences allow young delegates from these countries to gather to discuss ideas and put forth recommendations concerning the global agenda discussed in the leaders’ G20 and G7 summit. The schedule of the youth summits parallels that of the leader’s summit; the outcome is a Final Communique’ containing proposals from the Young delegates that is passed on to the leader’s summit to make the voice of young people heard.

She has been meeting representatives of the science and research community, the business community, the trade unions, non-governmental organizations, young people and women from G20 states. The Y20 is part of this process of engagement with the civil society.
