G-20 and Australia had much riding on 首脳会議

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) ― The relevance of the Group of 20 排除的 club of nations and Australia's place on the world 行う/開催する/段階 had a lot riding on the 結果 of the 週末 G-20 leaders' 首脳会議 in the Australian city of Brisbane.

By most accounts, the 首脳会議 was a success, 配達するing (疑いを)晴らす, quantifiable results 含むing a 計画(する) to 上げる 全世界の GDP by more than $2 一兆 over five years in an 成果/努力 to 揺さぶる the lethargic world economy 支援する to life.

専門家s agree that a 商売/仕事-as-usual result would have 脅すd the 生き残り of the G-20's 年次の leaders' 首脳会議, which 現れるd from the 2008 全世界の 財政上の 危機 as the 最高の,を越す 経済的な 会議 for 答える/応じるing to 全世界の 緊急s but has since lost a good bit of relevance.

マイク Callaghan, G-20 熟考する/考慮するs 中心 director at Sydney's Lowy 学校/設ける for International 政策, said Monday that if the G-20 fades away through 欠如(する) of relevance, Australia would not deserve to have a seat on its 交替/補充.

While Australia has 階級d in 最近の years の中で the world's 13 to 15 largest economies, it has a 比較して small 全住民 of 23 million and doesn't 代表する a wider 地域.

The G-20 is a collection of 19 豊富な and 現れるing countries 加える the European Union that 会合,会うs 毎年 with six guest 国家の leaders 招待するd by the 首脳会議 host. Critics complain that the G-20's 構成 is 独断的な and that worthy countries are 除外するd.

Callaghan said any 交替/補充 for the G-20 leaders' 首脳会議 because of 最近の "all-talk, no-活動/戦闘" (民事の)告訴s wou ld likely to be a smaller group that would make 決定/判定勝ち(する)-making more efficient while 持続するing a (人命などを)奪う,主張する to 代表する all major 地域s.

"Let's 直面する it. We say G-20 代表するs nearly 85 パーセント of the 全世界の economy. If a couple of countries dropped out ― Australia, Argentina, even Korea ― we could be 説 it still 代表するs 80 パーセント of the 全世界の economy and it would be a smaller organization," he said.

Callaghan was の中で those who 率d the 首脳会議 a success, にもかかわらず chairman 総理大臣 Tony Abbott's 失敗 to keep 問題/発行するs such as 気候 change off a 純粋に 経済的な 協議事項.

Abbott's 14-month-old 政府 has been 広範囲にわたって 非難するd for 廃止するing a 炭素 税金 that had been paid by 350 of Australia's worst 温室 gas polluters for two years, and Australia had resisted 圧力 from countries 含むing the U.S., 中国 and フラン 同様に as the European Union to 含む 気候 change on the G-20 協議事項.

A surprise 取引,協定 between the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and 中国 to 減ずる their 温室 gas 放出/発行s 発表するd days before the 首脳会議, 加える 大統領 Barack Obama's $3 billion 誓約(する) over the 週末 to help 発展途上国s 対処する with 気候 change, made Abbott appear to have lost 支配(する)/統制する of the 協議事項, によれば Australian マスコミ.

"Putting aside 気候 change, I would say it was a success because there were a lot of 事実 結果s, although they're only 約束s," Callaghan said.
