The No-G7 coalition, comprising approximately 200 associations, organizations, and unions, urged an "international response" to the policies promoted by the G7. They specifically condemned the group's alleged "fascism and imperialism."

French President Emmanuel Macron was expected to arrive in Evian on Sunday evening after a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Nice, with the U.S. president scheduled to arrive the following day.
