Task Forces

The Think7 process in 2022 takes place in thematic task forces that bring together experts from research institutions and think tanks from G7 countries. The task forces develop research-based policy recommendations for G7 policymakers and the G7 engagement groups. Each task force is led by three co-chairs who have been appointed by the Think7 co-chairs. They have strong connections to relevant policymakers in the G7 countries and in particular the country which is chairing the G7. The co-chairs are responsible for managing the discussions and outputs of their task force.
