InterAction Member Policy Positions for the 2019 G7 and G20 Summits

Each year the G7 and the G20 convene to discuss pressing global issues. This year the G7 will meet in Biarritz, France (August 24-26) while the G20 will meet in Osaka, Japan (June 28-29).

In the buildup to these summits, InterAction’s G7/G20 Advocacy Alliance has been actively advocating a set of policy positions with the U.S. government. To this end, the Alliance developed a G7 policy paper and a G20 policy paper that outline recommendations for the 2019 G7 and G20 summits. These papers call for the United States to play a leading role in encouraging G7 and G20 countries to commit to addressing the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.

The issues addressed in the policy papers – selected on the basis of French G7 and Japanese G20 agenda priorities – include:

  • Education
  • Environment
  • Food Security and Nutrition
  • Gender
  • Health
  • Peace and Security

G20 Policy Paper

  • Food Security and Nutrition
