How can the UK be a force for good in the world?
The G7 in Cornwall was a big opportunity for Boris Johnson to set out his vision for Global Britain. On the agenda was famine prevention, girls\u2019 education, tackling climate change and, of course, recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic. But the summit also took place against the backdrop of criticism, at home and abroad, of the government\u2019s decision to cut the UK\u2019s foreign aid budget.\n\nTo assess how much the summit achieved and to discuss what needs to happen next for the UK to reach its global ambitions and priorities, and how it can be a force for global good, the Institute for Government was delighted to bring together the following expert panel:\n\nMike Adamson, Chief Executive of the British Red Cross\nThe Rt Hon Baroness Amos, Master of University College, Oxford and former UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator and former Secretary of State for International Development\nTobias Ellwood MP, Chair of the Defence Select Committee\nLaila Johnson-Salami, Journalist at Arise TV and Founding Member of Feminist Coalition\nThe event was chaired by Tim Durrant, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.
