G8 2008: justice in Japan?
Leaders of the world's eight richest countries (the G8) have been meeting in Japan. Oxfam has been there too, making sure they make progress on the big issues affecting the world's poorest people.
The verdict's in
Did the 2008 G8 deliver justice for the world's poorest people? Oxfam's policy advisor, Max Lawson, gives his personal opinion on what happened at this year's summit.
Climate change
The G8 have pledged to “consider and adopt” a global deal on climate change. But it might be a case of too little, too late.

Global Food Crisis
"Don't waste food". Sound advice from PM Gordon Brown. But world leaders also need to play their part - like rethinking biofuels policy for starters.
Debt and Aid
The G8 must keep their previous promises to tackle poverty. Actor and Oxfam supporter Bill Nighy is calling for nothing short of "Action, actually".
And finally... a million best wishes
If you took our G8 action, you're one in a million! Literally (and in a good way). Over one million messages demanding the G8 honour their promises to tackle poverty were handed in to world leaders.
