The OECD is a longstanding and trusted partner to the G7, supporting successive Presidencies to advance and strengthen G7 co-operation on shared global challenges.
G7-OECD collaboration has fostered consensus within and beyond the G7’s membership, supporting the launch of initiatives like the G7 Hiroshima Process on Generative Artificial Intelligence, and the Climate Club, as well as the establishment of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
The OECD has also been instrumental in supporting G7 action for sustainable development and helping foster partnerships with emerging economies. For example, under Italy’s 2024 G7 Presidency, the G7 and the OECD launched a Joint Initiative to Strengthen Seed Certification in Africa, helping farmers access new markets and improving food security. Since the launch, the Seed Certification Scheme has grown to encompass 14 African countries.
