In an article for O Valor Econômico, José Pio Borges, Chairman at the Board of Trustees at CEBRI, and Marcos Caramuru, Member of CEBRI’s International Advisory Board, discuss the gains of Brazil's G20 Presidency with mediator and journalist Flávia Barbosa. The experts highlighted the integration of the Sherpa and Finance Tracks as an aspect that enabled Brazil's agenda to advance during its presidency.

In the interview, the newspaper highlights Brazil's leadership of the G20 as “excellent”, focusing on the unprecedented initiatives, the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, and some advances in the Reform of Global Governance. Regarding the Climate Change debate, CEBRI experts say that Brazil's ambition was greater than the result obtained, but that “steps were taken that will make a difference”, in the words of Brazil's former Ambassador to China, Marcos Caramuru.

He also analyzed that “diplomatic processes are slow, but Brazil did an excellent job at the G20.
