World leaders have agreed to a joint declaration at the G20 Summit in Johannesburg despite US President Donald Trump's boycott of the event.
The declaration, which host President Cyril Ramaphosa is likely to see as a vindication of South Africa's agenda for the G20 in the face of concerted US pressure, leads with a call for more support for poorer countries in facing climate change and other disasters.
"We highlight the need to pay special attention to those already disproportionately impacted by disasters and that cannot afford the costs of adaptation, disaster mitigation, preparedness and recovery in particular, Small Island Developing States SIDS and Least Developed Countries LDCs," the declaration reads.
