G8 Summit
The official agenda will debate the following themes: world economy, African development, health, education, water, global warming and climate change. Civil society demands also address themes that have not been given priority, but on which the Heads of State have made commitments as reforming multilateralism, development financing, promotion of peace and security.
Through information provided by JANIC, the Japanese NGO platform for international solidarity, Coordination SUD was able to get to know the agenda put forward by the Japanese government for the next G8 Summit to be held in Toyako, on the island of Hokkaido, from July 7th to 9th, 2008.
After consulting French NGOs, and exchanging extensively with some of its international partners, Coordination SUD, at this point of the preparation process for the G8, has decided upon a number of proposals, positions, and demands.
These partially correspond to the priorities on the official agenda (world economy, African development, health, education, water, global warming and climate change), and also address themes that have not been given priority, but on which the Heads of State have made commitments (reforming multilateralism, development financing, promotion of peace and security).
Whatever the addressed themes, we ask the G8 Heads of State to take into account the objective of gender equality while making all their decisions, in accordance with their commitments in September 2005 at the United Nations General Assembly.
