Brazil, nuclear weapons and the G20: Mamãe’s the word
Traditionally an economic forum, in recent
years the G20 has expanded its scope to
reflect the interconnectedness of economic
stability with global challenges such as
health, climate, and security. Nuclear
weapons first made their way onto the
communiqué two years ago, where their
use was described as ‘inadmissible’ amidst
escalating geopolitical tensions. Last year’s
communique from New Delhi reaffirmed
this statement but did not commit to
advancing nonproliferation or disarmament
efforts.
