In the years our world has faced numerous challenges, including the devastating impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, economic instability and the pressing issue of climate change. However, amidst all these problems, there is another matter that demands our attention; mental health. As leaders, from around the globe convene for the G20 Summit, it is essential to recognize that mental health is not a concern but a global one. This essay delves into why it's vital to address health on the agenda of the G20 Summit and explores its potential, for bringing about significant change.
With 19 individual countries, including the EU, the G-20 brings together the most significant economic powers across the globe. Founded in 1999 and guided by this goal since then, the institution has been driven to foster international economic collaboration and environmentally conscious growth. Although economic affairs were once the core focus of the G-20, recent years have seen this organization recognize just how essential psychological wellbeing is to long haul economic soundness.
A crisis without precedent, the world struggles with mental health issues. Mental health disorders have affected people across various demographics, including age, origin, and economic standing. Mental illness support alongside economic stability and social connections have triggered this crisis.
Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health challenges have worsened. Due to uncertainty, fear, and loneliness brought about by the pandemic, there was an upsurge in mental health issues globally. The G-20 recognizes that tackling mental health concerns is necessary not only because of moral obligations but mainly because of how critical it is economically.
Mental Health as a Priority. Amid growing urgency, the G-20 makes mental health a top focus area. Taking action to improve mental health services while reducing stigma and raising awareness are commitments made by member countries.
