➡️ Foreign direct investment (FDI) is critical for economic security and supply chain resilience, competitiveness and technological leadership, green industrial transformation as well as labour market opportunities. However, current investment governance faces three interconnected challenges: ❌ Geographically concentrated flows leaving strategic opportunities untapped. ❌ Misaligned investment treaties that create uncertainty and risks for host states. ❌ Limited G7 leadership results in fragmentation and inefficiencies. 📚 💡 We are pleased to share this #Think7 (#T7) Solutions Paper of the Task Force “Strengthening coherence between investment agreements and sustainable development commitments” developed to provide practical recommendations to the G7 - under the coordination of IDDRI and the European Council on Foreign Relations. The Task force is jointly co-chaired by IDOS expert Axel Berger, Deputy Director (interim), and Cecilia Trasi, Senior Policy Advisor in Industry & Trade at ECCO think tank.
