World leaders with the Group of 20 rich and developing nations will meet this weekend in Johannesburg for the bloc’s first summit in Africa.

The Leaders' Declaration from a Group of 20 summit in South Africa on Saturday stressed the seriousness of climate change, in a snub to U.S. President Donald Trump, who boycotted the gathering and doubts the scientific consensus that global warming is caused by human activities.

The Group of 20 summit in South Africa ended Sunday with the glaring absence of the United States -- the next country to lead the bloc -- after the Trump administration boycotted the two days of talks involving leaders of the world's richest and top developing economies.

The first G20 summit in Africa also broke with tradition Saturday by issuing a leaders' declaration on the opening day of the talks, when declarations usually come at the end of the summit.
