If we truly want to work together on the international stage to stimulate the economy, achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the G20, we must demand with one voice that Russia end its illegal war against Ukraine .

At the same time, he called on developing countries to make their voices better heard on the international stage.

To help achieve the SDGs around the world, including mitigating the effects of climate change, improving food security and empowering all women and girls, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that Canada will provide:

• up to $63 million in funding for five new climate partnership projects. These projects will support climate change adaptation in sub-Saharan Africa, creating climate-resilient economies, protecting and enhancing biodiversity, and empowering women and girls, all through nature-based solutions;
• $7.7 million to finance the inclusive and sustainable development of agricultural value chains in Bolivia to improve the resilience of vulnerable indigenous populations to climate change and food insecurity;
• $7 million to the Climate Catalytic Finance Facility to strengthen climate finance projects in developing countries and support projects that target the impacts of climate change on economically vulnerable groups, particularly women and girls;
• $15.7 million to fund and grow women-owned agribusinesses in Nigeria;
• $15 million to strengthen food security in the Democratic Republic of Congo and increase income for women in the sector;
• $22 million to improve school nutrition in Burkina Faso. This will help reduce chronic food and nutritional insecurity in this country and meet the nutritional and educational needs of the most vulnerable, especially girls.

Canada is the proud architect of the G20 and is heavily involved in this group. We are committed to driving sustainable economic progress worldwide while protecting our planet. We will continue our efforts to deliver real results for Canada and our partners around the world, now and in the future.
