G20 Summit in Cannes (November 3-4, 2011)
France, as G20 President in 2011, has identified six priorities :

Strengthening financial regulation
Combating commodity price volatility
Supporting employment and strengthening the social dimension of globalization
Fighting corruption
Acting for development
Since its creation at the level of heads of State and government at the end of 2008, the G20 has enabled effective responses to be provided collectively to the most serious crisis since that of the 1930s.
In 2011, the G20 will have to complete the work already started to tackle the root causes of the crisis, but also broaden its agenda to include new actions aimed at sustainably improving global stability and prosperity.
Only the G20 has the power, authority and decision-making capacity to provide the crucial impetus to further today’s major economic projects.
