G7 Germany 2022

In the Think7 group, leading think tanks from the G7 countries worked together with civil society and business to develop proposals for forward-looking agreements between the G7 member states. Besides short-term responses such as providing vaccines or financial support programs in the G7 countries and beyond, this responsibility also implies stewardship for longer-term systemic transformations that generate an environmentally sustainable, socially just and resilient recovery in a multilateral system. The Global Solutions Initiative (GSI) and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) chaired the Think7 Group during Germany’s G7 Presidency in 2022. Former Chancellor Angela Merkel has mandated the two organizations to carry out the Think7 process.
