The publication outlines the commitments and compliance of the G20 nations on key global issues, such as financial regulation, on which compliance averaged 80%, and climate change, which averaged 69%.

Under Japan's G20 presidency, this year's leader's meeting will prioritise three key themes: global trade, the realisation of Society 5.0 and the global impact of ageing populations on economies and social policy.

G20 Japan: The Osaka Summit provides progressive dialogue around these themes, as well as commentary on such topics as the future of employment in next 100 years; effective funding solutions for essential infrastructure; and Universal Health Coverage.
