The leaders of the world's largest economies spent the final day of the summit in Bali planting trees in a mangrove Wednesday. Each leader planted a single tree before using a shovel to move the earth over the roots before touring the rest of the mangrove.

The tree planting came after Biden's emergency G-7 and NATO meeting. Talks at the Group of 20 summit were beginning under the hopeful theme of "recover together, recover stronger" after the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences. G-20 members include both industrialized and developing nations and account for 80% of the world's economic activity and two-thirds of the world's population.
