About The Backgrounder:

Canada is presiding over this year’s G7 Leaders’ Summit, which is scheduled to take place in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17. The summit will convene leaders from G7 members—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—along with the European Union and invited guests including Australia and Ukraine.

Canada’s government has committed to global leadership to support stability, co-operation and open trade. Climate change and environmental crises undermine these efforts. Canada’s G7 presidency is a prime opportunity to work with key allies and trade partners to build economic and security relationships that are reinforced through co-operation to protect the environment and tackle climate change.
