Presidents and representatives of the Supreme Courts and Constitutional Courts of the G20 countries, the European Union, and the African Union are gathering in Rio de Janeiro to exchange ideas and initiatives on pressing and relevant legal issues, aiming to establish a global forum for constitutional jurisdiction bodies.

The objective is to propose multilateral and bilateral cooperation projects on citizenship, social inclusion, climate litigation, sustainable development, digital transformation, and the use of technology to enhance judicial efficiency.
