Build Forward Better: Der G7-Gipfel als Wegweiser für eine nachhaltigere und gerechtere Zukunft
“After a Corona year in which the focus was on domestic challenges, the G7 summit in Cornwall must be forward-looking for international cooperation in the areas of health, climate, economy and social affairs,” explains Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner. Since January 2021, the economic expert has headed the Aspen Institute Germany, a Berlin-based think tank focusing on transatlantic relations.
This year, Dr. Mildner is representing Germany on the G7 Economic Resilience Panel, which was launched by the British G7 presidency. Chaired by former cabinet minister and national security advisor Lord Mark Sedwill, the panel, with representatives from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the EU, developed the “Cornwall Consensus,” which proposes guidelines for restructuring societies and economic systems. The whole press release can be found here in German.

New Publication Series: Transatlantische Impulse
The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and its outcome shaped public debate on both sides of the Atlantic. The ongoing health crisis of unknown dimensions as well as an unprecedented presidential transition further pushed this consequential election to the center of attention. United in their commitment to sending a strong signal for transatlantic solidarity, several transatlantic institutions and German political foundations joined forces for the Road to Election Night & Beyond event series. Kicking off in September 2020, 50 speakers reached more than 6,000 live viewers from 25 countries with ten virtual and hybrid events.
Together we continue to foster debate on a healthy and strong Euro-American partnership by assessing Joe Biden’s domestic and foreign policies from a transatlantic perspective by means of the publication series Transatlantische Impulse (in German).
