From Crisis Manager to Agenda Setter: Policy Recommendations for the G7 from the Next Generation of Leaders

Abstract

We developed concrete policy recommendations for the German government built on its main priorities as detailed in its 2022 programme titled "Progress towards an equitable world". As Germany holds the G7 presidency, it currently has a particular opportunity to set the direction for the G7. We therefore identified concrete policy goals for 2029 - the year when Germany will next hold the G7 presidency - and developed tangible policy recommendations for achieving these goals. Together with renowned think tank experts, we refined the ideas even further. The first issue of our English-language publication BKHS Perspectives collates these ideas by including the policy recommendations from our summit participants, invited experts and BKHS colleagues.
