Germany has an ambitious agenda for its G7 Presidency in 2022 – and faces unexpected challenges. When Germany assumed the Presidency on January 1st, it sought to achieve “progress towards an equitable world” through a focus on sustainability, economic stability, public health, and investment in a better future. And, it recognized the importance of a multilateral approach to addressing common global challenges. In late February, however, Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine put the global economic and security order at risk.
