At a time when the reform of the global financial architecture was a top priority on all multilateral macroeconomic, environmental, and development agendas, climate finance was regarded as the "great enabler of climate action" according to the UNFCCC. However, mounting evidence suggested that the transition towards a low-carbon economy risked exacerbating the imbalance between higher and lower income countries, as well as between high- and lower-income households.

In the pursuit of a more technologically advanced and socially responsible future, the Think 7 (T7) established a dedicated task force called "Science and Digitalization for a Better Future" (TF4).

This task force underscored the pivotal role that science, technology, and digitalization play in shaping the future. TF4 was designed to address pressing issues at the confluence of these domains, with a specific emphasis on fostering a more technologically advanced and socially responsible global landscape.

The aim of the event is to discuss the role of development cooperation within the G7 policy agenda. During the event, a comparative analysis of public attitudes towards development cooperation across some of the G7 countries will be presented and discussed.

The goal of the meeting is to examine and discuss the role of G7 in promoting global health cooperation with a focus on the emerging challenges of malaria elimination, an objective that the UN SDG agenda aims to reach by 2030.

Leading experts and stakeholders will discuss, in particular, the opportunities offered by the new technologies, the role played by the various actors in the global health architecture, and the new initiatives to be undertaken to fill the persistent financing gaps.
