Abstract
The project approach is to convene leaders and their senior advisors from varied backgrounds, with influential researchers and policy opinion leaders to debate policy options. Papers by recognized experts are commissioned and presented to gatherings of prominent actors. The focus is on developing solutions by an international cooperative effort whose objective is a more inclusive, well prepared Summit process to lead to progress on global deadlocks such as climate change and energy security. Expanding the G8 Summit to include on an equal basis, five important emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa) would create a more legitimate member group.
