Conference Theme

The decision of British voters to leave the European Union, the election of Donald Trump, and a growing mood of nationalism, populism, nativism and closure in Europe, the United States and Japan raise profound challenges to he openness and international cooperation that have guided the Group of Seven, the European Union and global governance in the recent past. Those challenges directly affect efforts to generate economic growth and employment through macroeconomic policy coordination, global financial regulation, and trade and investment liberalization, to enhance the natural environment and control climate change, to strengthen social responsibility through health, gender equity, well-managed migration and sustainable development, and to promote security in the face of terrorism, cyber warfare and more traditional geopolitical threats. The G7's Taormina Summit on 25-26 May 2017, hosted by Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni, will be the first multilateral encounter to address such challenges collectively, with three leaders elected since the last summit: the United States, France and the United Kingdom. This conference, held on the eve of the summit, assesses how the G7 leaders can meet the formidable challenges facing them to make globalization work better for all.
