Civil 7 (C7) is an official engagement group of the Group of Seven (G7) that brings together civil society organizations and actors, enabling them to engage in dialogue with G7 countries. It provides a space to amplify the voices of global civil society and present recommendations on key international issues.
The 2026 G7 Summit will take place in a particularly unstable international context. The multiplication of armed conflicts, enduring humanitarian crises, challenges to international law, as well as the rise of authoritarian regimes, have profoundly destabilized global order.
In this context, in 2026, Coordination SUD, platform for French international solidarity NGOs, takes on the C7 secretariat. This engagement group aims to bring forward the concerns and priorities of civil society, particularly those of countries outside the G7, including the Global South, ensuring that they are considered in G7 decision-making processes.
