G7 Urban7

The G7 Urban7 (U7) works towards a continuous and meaningful dialogue between the G7 nations and municipal actors represented by national associations and supported by international city networks. The U7 Group is chaired by the U7 Secretariat consisting of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability and the Global Parliament of Mayors (GPM) as well as the city association from the country leading the G7 that year. In 2026, the G7 Presidency is held by France and thus the France Urbaine is fulfilling that role in the U7 Group.

In 2026 the G7 Urban7 was recognised as an official G7 Engagement Group by the French G7 presidency, making the U7 the official representative of the voice of cities, towns and regions in the G7 process.
