Abstract: The world is currently in a period of transition towards multipolarity. This Policy Brief explores the importance of policy coordination between multilateral groupings with a focus on the G20 and G7, and argues that through institutional mechanisms, member countries can align their national strategies with a broader global vision. The G20 and G7 face common challenges, including achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), energy transition, climate change, digital transformation, and the ongoing international financial crisis. The brief recommends that the G7 and G20 coordinate policies and initiatives in a manner that reboots multilateralism in the wake of fast-changing ground realities.
