Inside the G7: What’s at stake for environment, energy, and sustainability?
|
|
The 2025 Summit will mark the 50th anniversary of the G7. It is also the deadline for members to deliver on commitments to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies and double climate finance for adaptation from 2019 levels.

There’s now less than a month to go until G7 leaders make the trip to Kananaskis, Alberta.
Get up to speed with recommendations on environment, energy, and sustainable development in the T7 Canada Communiqué, and stay tuned for more coverage and expert insights on these critical issues in the lead-up to the Summit.
