G20 leadership transitions to the United States in 2026 at a defining global moment.
President Donald Trump will host the G20 Leaders’ Summit (Dec 14–15, 2026) at Trump National Doral Miami, with a focus on:

His message aligns closely with the V20’s values-driven vision: real progress emerges when leadership is grounded in shared humanity. In the face of inequality, environmental challenges, and governance gaps, values become our compass — guiding businesses and societies toward...
...collaboration, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
A reminder that values-based leadership is not just about governance — it’s about building trust and shaping futures that work for all. 🌍✨
He highlighted that societies evolve through their institutions — and when those institutions fail to adapt, change often turns disruptive or violent. The V20’s work, he noted, points toward a different path: institutions that can evolve with flexibility, legitimacy, and trust.
When people trust institutions, they can adapt, mobilise, and respond to complexity without losing social cohesion. A timely reminder that values-driven governance is essential for navigating change and sustaining peace.
At the V20 South Africa Summit, Richard Samans pointed to a persistent gap between headline growth and the everyday realities people experience — work security, social protection, access to essentials, and environmental stability.

His reflection calls for a shift in economic thinking: from prioritising growth alone to hardwiring human outcomes into how economies are designed and governed. When lived experience becomes a core measure — not a residual one — economic success takes on real meaning.
His work shows that endless growth is not neutral or infinite. Growth-led pathways push societies toward ecological overshoot, while post-growth futures grounded in sufficiency, redistribution, and renewable transitions create stability and resilience.
Crucially, he highlights that models reflect the values we build into them. When principles like Ubuntu shape their design, outcomes shift toward cooperation, reciprocity, and shared well-being — rather than collapse.
Every era redefines its institutions. Some do it through conflict. Others, through courage.
Today, as trust in global systems falters, we’re reminded that institutions must live & breathe — that justice, peace, and agency are not fixed, but evolving.

At the V20 South Africa Summit, Ashleigh Theophanides, Deputy Chairperson of the B20 Integrity & Compliance Stream, addressed a defining challenge of our time: how to govern rapidly evolving digital technologies without compromising human judgment, trust, & accountability.

Her message was clear — progress doesn’t mean unchecked adoption. It means strong ethical frameworks, coordinated global governance, and accountability mechanisms that ensure technology serves people, not the other way around.
