Despite the great expectations placed on the Japanese leadership with regards to global issues centering around the environment and development, we see little sign of progress towards a successful conclusion of the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit in just over 70 days. The lack of ambitious policy proposals from the Japanese Presidency is the cause of our great concern that the leaders gathering at Toyako may end up not producing any positive outcomes.
Taking the opportunity of the Civil G8 Dialogue where the G8 Sherpas directly engage in a dialogue with the global civil society, the 2008 G8 Summit NGO Forum issues this urgent call on the Government of Japan to boost its efforts to avoid failure.
