When the social organizations of the group's member countries requested that the meeting of heads of State and Government were also focused on climate change, Abbott highlighted the economic nature of the forum.

The host of the meeting that will have the Australian city of Brisbane as venue this weekend added that there are other spaces where the climate change issue can be discussed.

Thus, Tabbott, the prime minister of Australia, one of the main pollutant countries per capita in the world, said this issue, as well as the situation of the Ebola virus epidemics, would be tackled during the summit, but would not divert the attention from the main objective of fostering economic growth.

According to Abbott, the international financial crisis had repercussions around the world, and even when those years have been left behind, the countries are still fighting its legacy of debt and unemployment.

The challenge to the G20 leaders is clear: increasing economic growth, generating jobs and strengthening their financial capacity. We need to foster demand to repulse deflation, which threatens the main economies in Europe, he said.

But the social organizations of the group, under the name of C20, considered that the event would be irrelevant if it does not adopt concrete and tangible measures to reduce inequality and face the environmental problems.

If the Australian G20 presidency does not express a serious commitment to inclusive growth, it would be ignoring the voices of the civil society, international authorities and several countries, reported Prensa Latina News Agency quoting C20 President Tim Costello said in a media conference.(KH)
