At the G7 meeting, climate protection, environmental protection and energy issues will be discussed in a variety of ways.

The G7 countries stand firm and strengthened in their stance on the climate protection commitments they made in Paris and Glasgow and emphasise the importance of an accelerated energy transition as a key contribution to both more climate protection and more energy security.

The fight against the pollution crisis and the mass extinction of species is also on the G7 agenda. The aim is to make a clear commitment to marine conservation, biodiversity protection and a global plastic waste treaty.

Annalena Baerbock, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs, was also on site.

The meeting of the G7 climate, energy and environment ministers was attended by actors from seven countries.

At the final press conference, the G7 climate, energy and environment ministers presented their final declaration with a first-time commitment to the coal phase-out.
