Policy

This policy brief urges the Group of Seven (G7) to defend, expand, and re-invent multilateral structures capable of coping with the global challenges of the 21st century. It outlines how global challenges make a comprehensive, strategically long-lasting, and inclusive international order now more urgent than ever. It also argues that the G7 is well advised to contribute to the call of the United Nations Secretary-General to forge a new global consensus with its upcoming Summit of the Future. Finally, any G7 effort to strengthen multilateralism cannot be successful if it lacks a full understanding of the views and issues beyond the G7 countries and the so-called Global South.
