2025 Civil 7 Summit

The C7 Summit 2025 will be held in Ottawa, Canada, on April 14-15, 2025. This important summit is organized as part of Canada's leadership of the G7 process in 2025, with Cooperation Canada leading the Civil 7 (C7) engagement group.

The C7 Summit serves as a critical platform for global civil society to engage with G7 governments. Civil society organizations from around the world will collaborate to present coordinated policy recommendations on pressing global issues, helping to shape the G7 agenda. The summit will be a vital opportunity to ensure that the voices of global civil society are heard in key political discussions.

1. On Day 1, civil society representatives will finalize the C7 Communique, a policy package that addresses global concerns and serves as a key tool for engaging with governments and inter-governmental bodies.
2. On Day 2, civil society will present these recommendations to the Government of Canada and G7 diplomatic representatives, facilitating direct dialogue on the future of global governance and Canada's role in the G7 in 2025.

The C7 Summit plays a crucial role in advancing global policy and strengthening the relationship between civil society and governmental decision-makers.
