G7 / G20

During its meeting in Évian-les-Bains from June 15 to 17, 2026, under the French presidency, the G7 issued three declarations related to global health and development issues, focusing on international partnerships, the response to the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, and the fight against cancer. These declarations focus on blended finance, private-sector engagement, and international health cooperation. However, they also reflect a marked political setback: under the influence of U.S. positions, climate change and gender equality have disappeared from the official rhetoric, while reform of the international financial architecture continues to struggle to gain traction as a response to the sharp decline in official development assistance. The G7 heads of state and government issued three documents directly related to global health and development issues: a declaration on mutually beneficial international partnerships, a call for a coordinated response to the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, and a call to action on the fight against cancer. Five other declarations address smuggling, geopolitical issues, critical minerals, and economic growth. A specific declaration also addresses the protection of minors online. The declarations were adopted unanimously by the G7 member states.
