urbaMonde signed the call led by Habitat for Humanity International<\/h2>\n

As G7 leaders prepare to meet for their annual Summit, hosted by France in June 2026, there is a critical opportunity to influence the global development agenda. In the lead\u2011up to the Summit, G7 ministers meet in various thematic groups, and one of the most influential is the International Development Ministerial. This meeting, on April 28, 2026, brings together G7 ministers and partner countries to align strategies, coordinate priorities, and advance concrete actions on international development goals. The outcomes of this ministerial often shape what leaders ultimately commit to at the G7 Summit.<\/p>\n
