About the G7 Ministers' Meeting on Climate, Energy and Environment in Sapporo
The G7 Ministers’ Meeting on Climate, Energy and Environment is one of the ministerial meetings held in conjunction with the G7 Summit, and its significance is that it forms the basis for discussions at the Summit.
In the spirit of the Paris Agreement, we will discuss the global promotion of Green Transformation (GX), and transform the entire economic, social and industrial structure to be driven by clean energy to pursue net zero, circular and nature positive economies in an integrated manner.
We will also advance discussions from various perspectives including those of countries, cities, subnational, industries, business and lifestyles, in order to promote concrete actions in all sectors and by all stakeholders.
