The major global imbalances have very concrete impacts on the daily lives of citizens : closures of factories and local shops, loss of purchasing power, climate change, development of pandemics, illegal trafficking, etc.

To make effective progress on these priorities, all relevant actors must be at the table : public decision-makers, associations, businesses, and citizens. For 25 years, the G7 has closely involved all these actors through, among other things, engagement groups that represent civil society.

  • The « Business 7 » (B7) for issues related to businesses;

  • The « Civil 7 » (C7) which brings together mainly civil society organizations and actors of international solidarity from the G7 member states;

  • The « Labour 7 » (L7) for issues related to the labor market and workers;

  • The « Science 7 » (S7) to highlight the role of science within the work that will be conducted by the French Presidency of the G7;

  • The « Women 7 » (W7) to promote the role of women on the international stage;

  • The « University 7 » to involve the academic community in the work;

  • The « Urban 7 » (U7) to include local authorities;

  • The « Think tank 7 » (T7) to involve think tanks in the global reflection;

  • The « Youth 7 » (Y7) to represent the voice of the youth.
