7.2 The membership of G-77 and China

There are 153 non-Annex I/B countries. Of these 130 are members of the group G-77 and China (see Table 8).


The chair of G-77 rotates among the countries on an annual basis. The last decade has seen Bolivia, Ghana, Pakistan, Colombia, Algeria, Philippines, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Indonesia, Guyana as Chairs, and Nigeria is chairing in 2000. Iran is the next chair. The chairmanship rotates between regions but there is no clear list of future chairs. The G-77 and China currently has a Rome Chapter (at FAO), Paris Chapter (at UNESCO), Nairobi Chapter (at UNEP), Washington Chapter (at IMF and World Bank) and a Vienna Chapter (since 1998 at UNIDO) (http://www.G-77.org/vienna/index.html).
