The G7 nations meet in Cornwall this weekend (11-13 June), for the first face-to-face meeting during the UK’s G7 Presidency. In the lead-up to the event, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reportedly said he wants to use the opportunity to ‘unite leading democracies to help the world fight, and then build back better from coronavirus and create a greener, more prosperous future.’
The seven members (UK, USA, Canada, Japan, Germany, France and Italy, plus the EU) will also be joined by leaders from the invited guest countries Australia, India, South Korea and South Africa. They face a formidable agenda of pressing global challenges, from pandemic recovery to climate change, trade and taxation, and the foremost issue in the battle against Covid-19 – vaccine equity. Below is analysis and commentary from IDS researchers and centres on how G7 leaders should address these issues.
