Youth Engagement in the G7
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS 2022 G7 IN DIALOGUE WITH CIVIL SOCIETY In 2022, the German Presidency supported seven official engagement groups , ranging across civil society and interest groups, to academia and research as well as to social part- ners from businesses and unions. Each engagement group stood firmly independent and was coordinated by a non-governmental representative body, with the official mandate by the G7 Presidency. Youth7 Germany 2022 profited immensely from the active exchange and close collaboration among the engagement groups.
Buisness7 Business7 serves as the dialogue platform for dialogue with the interna- tional business community, bringing together the leading business and industry associations from across the G7. Under the German Presidency, Business7 was chaired by the Federation of German Industries (BDI). Youth7 was represented by Track Sherpa Jonas Dechent at the Business7 Summit 2022, who shared Youth7 recommendations on global trade and investment policy, debt-restructuring and post-pandemic recovery mea- sures. Civil7 Coordinated by VENRO – Association of German Development and Human- itarian Aid NGOs and the Environment and Development Forum, Civil7 brought together representatives from non-governmental organisations in their commitment to climate action and environmental justice, human- itarian aid, development cooperation and open societies. Throughout 2022, Civil7 hosted international workshops and debate fora, attended by Youth7 representatives.
