"The Brazil Institute brings...an understanding of the politics, the culture, the economics, and Brazil's place in the hemisphere."
Jane Harman, Former Director, President, and CEO of the Wilson Center
The Wilson Center's G20 Dialogues embody the Center's mission to foster global understanding through nonpartisan, research-driven policy discussions and research. The initiative taps into the Center's one-of-a-kind Brazil Institute and delves deeply into Brazil's presidency of the G20 in 2024. It features a content hub, a blend of online and in-person events, and a series of publications focusing on issues such as social inclusion, sustainable development, energy transition, digital transformation, and global governance, aiming to enrich the dialogue leading up to the 2024 G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

"The Brazil Institute, which grew out of a project I helped to initiate as president, fills a vital space for dialogue and cooperation...The Institute’s work on rule of law and innovation policies, involving research centers, universities, government institutions, and businesses from both nations, is particularly valuable and has contributed to expand and deepen connections between our societies, even in challenging times for the official relationship."
H.E. Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Former President of the Republic of Brazil
