'New globalization' urged to combat poverty, climate change

SÃO PAULO, Brazil: Brazil called for a 'new globalization' to address poverty and climate change as finance ministers from the world's top economies met Wednesday, but the Ukraine and Gaza wars risked overshadowing the plea.

'It is time to redefine globalization,' Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad told his counterparts from the Group of 20 (G20) leading economies, opening their first meeting of the year in São Paulo.
