The Role of the G7 in Promoting North-South Cooperation

In 2024, Italy will hold the rotating Presidency of the G7. Faced with a fraught geopolitical environment and persistent crises whose intensity does not seem to decrease, how will the seven largest democracies agree to respond with effective actions? And how will Italy steer the agenda setting in these challenging times?

On the heels of the 2023 Summit, this event will be an opportunity to get some insights on the current state of G7 works and their future direction under the Italian presidency. It will also be a chance for international development practitioners to share their perspective on how the G7 can foster advancement and donor-recipient alignment on the specific challenges affecting the global South the most.
