What to expect from the G7

Wednesday, 8th June 2021 | 13:00 - 14:00

June’s Group of Seven (G7) summit in the United Kingdom marks the first in person gathering of the heads of the world’s largest industrialized economies since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the election of President Joe Biden.

With the addition of South Korea, India, and Australia to the invitees, the summit will likely be an early test for the U.S. strategy of organizing the world’s leading democracies in a coordinated response to a rising China. Other prominent topics are likely to include the significant disparities in global COVID-19 recovery and vaccination rates – and possible policy responses – and the growing pressure on industrialized economies to supercharge their sustainability commitments. The meeting is likely to set the agenda for geopolitical developments for the latter half of 2021 – and beyond.

You are invited to join us in conversation with Brunswick Partner Sir Jonathan Faull, as well as Brunswick Senior Advisors Ambassador Anthony Gardner and Admiral Mike Rogers.

This is an opportunity to hear from three of the world’s leading geopolitical experts, whose careers have spanned several jurisdictions and included positions at the highest levels of their respective governments and international institutions.

Attendees will have the opportunity to put questions to the panel in a Q&A towards the end of the discussion. The conversation will be hosted and moderated by Kate Fall.
