This year’s Group of 7 (G7) Summit will take place in Kananaskis, Canada, with leaders of some of the world’s largest economies gathering to discuss global challenges. IISD is chairing a dedicated T7 task force on Environment, Energy, and Sustainable Development ahead of the negotiations. Stay tuned for coverage and expert insights on these critical issues in the lead-up to the G7 Summit.
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.
With the clock ticking, G7 members continue to be some of the highest emitters in the world and are at risk of not meeting their climate obligations this decade.
Think 7 (T7) is the official G7 engagement group for think tanks and research centres, providing evidence-based recommendations to Canada’s G7 Presidency.
The Think 7 has now published its final Communiqué, including recommendations on environment, energy, and sustainable development addressed by Task Force 3. These were informed by five policy briefs developed following a rigorous selection process.
