The Group of 77, or G77, is a coalition of developing countries established in 1964 to promote their collective economic interests and enhance their negotiating power in international forums. Initially formed by 77 nations, the group has since expanded to include over 130 member states, making it one of the largest intergovernmental organizations in the United Nations. The G77 focuses on issues such as trade, development, and climate change, advocating for policies that support sustainable development and equitable economic growth. The group plays a significant role in shaping global discussions, particularly in forums like the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.
