What happens.
Model G20 simulates the G20 Leaders’ Summit. Each delegate speaks for a world leader and negotiates global economic cooperation. One Young India organises it. The 2027 summit is on the FLAME University campus in Pune. It is for students who want to go past debate into formal policy advocacy: delegates write academic white papers and give high-level presentations. Delegates work in the Sherpa and Finance tracks, write position papers and finish with a signed communiqué.
