G20 Bali 2022 summit: Theme
The "Recover Together, Recover Stronger" motto will be the focus of the G20 Summit that year. Since a result of the worldwide pandemic that struck the globe in 2020, Indonesia has said that its presidency is guided by the concept of "recover together," as the world is experiencing difficulties in many areas, from health to education to international commerce.

Global health architecture
The G20 meeting in Indonesia has made bolstering global health resilience and creating a more accessible, egalitarian, and crisis-ready global health system a top priority. The global health emergency planning, response, and resilience architecture has been called into question by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for its improvement. The conference will include a number of panels where topics including post-COVID-19 infrastructure advancement and pandemic preparation will be tackled.
Digital transformation
At the summit, governments and other interested parties from across the world will discuss how to best take advantage of the digital revolution and ensure that everyone benefits from it. The conference will examine driving MSMEs into the digital ecosystem, digital entrepreneurship, and revitalising women's roles in the workplace through digital skills.
Sustainable energy transition
Third on the agenda of the G20 summit in Bali in 2022 is the promotion of an immediate transition to cleaner, greener energy sources in order to assure a brighter future for global civilization. Climate change has an impact on both local and global development, and this transition will aim to address these challenges. For this energy transition to be successful, substantial resources are needed. The Bali conference will focus on energy affordability, smart and clean energy technology.
