The world is in financial disarray, facing the danger of widespread protectionism, food crisis and unemployment. The G20 - comprising some of the world's major economies, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank - is meeting in Pittsburgh Sep. 24-25 to seal firm agreements to put the global economy on the right track.

While the plans were outlined in London in April, there are still gaps that need to be filled in. Leaders discussed coordinated actions to revive the global economy, stimulate growth and employment, and reform the financial sector, but some pressing issues were not substantially addressed at all - including climate change.

Will the G20 succeed? Are the voices of the most vulnerable, developing and poor countries being heard? What does the civil society say about it? The world is watching.
