As one of the official engagement groups of G7, Civil7 (C7) has been working for the past several months to bring positive changes on global issues by concrete policy recommendations in six different working groups with 700 representatives from more than 70 countries.

The C7 Summit on 13-14 April 2023 was an important opportunity to discuss challenges that the G7 Leaders face, and ways to address them. C7 called on the G7 to utilise their global influence and voice in protecting human rights, democratic governance and civic space, maintaining open societies, and defending freedom of speech both at home and internationally. In addition,the C7 affirmed that in this context prioritisation of the needs of vulnerable populations, women and girls, children, youth, persons with disabilities, and the elderly is critical. The C7 committed to use the Hiroshima Summit and the G7 platform to demonstrate CSO’s distinctive role in holding governments to account and offering solutions to speed up progress towards the realisation of the 2030 Agenda and climate commitments for a fair,sustainable, and equitable development for all
