G7 Canada 2025

The Think7 (T7) is an official engagement group of the G7, bringing together leading think tanks and research institutions from G7 countries and beyond. This network of experts collaborates on G7-relevant themes, generating evidence-based policy recommendations to inform the G7 agenda and final Leaders’ Communiqué.

In 2025, Canada holds the G7 presidency, providing an opportunity to shape global discussions on economic resilience, inclusive development, digital governance, climate action, and democratic values. Under Canada’s leadership, the T7 will support this effort by offering high-quality research and actionable insights that reflect both G7 priorities and global perspectives.
