This week the heads of state of the economies that comprise the Group of 7 (the ‘G7’) gather in France to discuss the critical issues of our time – with the stated focus of fighting inequality.
The group first came together in the 1970s to find a collective solution to the oil crisis that was destabilizing economies worldwide. Since their first meeting, the leaders of the G7 have met annually to confront the economic challenges that bind us.
This G7 gathering could be historic, if they decide to take the bold and swift action required to tackle inequality and the climate emergency, and deliver the Sustainable Development Goals.
