Hey there! Have you ever wondered how countries work together to make the world a better place? Let me introduce you to the Group of 77, also known as the G77. It’s a big group of developing countries that joined forces over 60 years ago to make their voices heard at the United Nations.
What is the G77?
The G77 started with 77 countries (that’s why it’s called G77), but now it has grown to 134 member states! That makes it the largest group of countries working together within the United Nations. Pretty cool, right?
What’s G77+China?
Even though China isn’t an official member of the G77, it has been a super important partner for over 30 years. Together, the G77 and China are known as G77+China. They’ve teamed up to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, like poverty, climate change, and trade barriers.
Why Does It Matter?
The G77+China gives developing countriesโsometimes called the Global Southโa stronger voice on the global stage. By working together, they can share ideas, support each other, and create solutions that help millions of people.
How They’re Making a Difference
- Fighting Poverty: G77+China works on programs to help people have better jobs and education.
- Protecting the Planet: They collaborate on ways to combat climate change and take care of our Earth.
- Fair Trade: They strive to make trading goods between countries fairer and easier.
Shaping the Future
The G77+China is all about teamwork. By standing united, they’re making sure that developing countries have a say in how our world works. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll be part of making these important decisions too!
Isn’t it amazing what we can achieve when we work together? ๐
