What is the G8?

The “Group of Eight” or G8, is an international forum composed of 8 country members – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russian, United Kingdom and the United States. A representative from the European Commission also participates.

The G8 Meetings and Summit

Prior to the mid-year summit, there are many minister-level meetings held in Germany. The meeting and their discussions are planned by high-ranking government aids called “Sherpas.” At these meetings foreign, environmental and finance ministers among others, meet to discuss a variety of topics including energy, the environment, social development and terrorism.

Why is the G8 important?

Within the G8, some of the world’s most critical issues are discussed. Despite often being criticised for having an overly northern focus, and not having truly ‘global’ representation, the outcomes from the G8 meetings do help determine the world’s development agenda. In the fight against AIDS, the G8 plays a particularly important role.
