# Civil society organisations say that without the input of ordinary people, the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg this weekend risks prioritising the interests of elites and perpetuating the status quo. The summit will be the first to be held on the African continent and will feature dignitaries from the world’s wealthiest countries. Nearly half the world’s population live in poverty while just three-thousand billionaires own 43-percent of global assets. Civil society organisations are demanding that governments prioritise climate justice, debt reduction and taxing billionaires and dollar millionaires.
