Hosted by the Canadian government, the 2-day ministerial built on the outcomes of the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, held earlier this year, where leaders committed to support concrete actions towards building energy security and accelerating the digital transition, and advancing a circular economy and protecting our oceans and freshwater.

Commissioner Jørgensen engaged with the G7 energy ministers on critical raw materials and tackling supply chain vulnerabilities, the enabling role of artificial intelligence in the energy transition, the importance of innovation, emerging technologies and nuclear in driving a sustainable and resilient energy future, as well as energy security. There were also dedicated exchanges on how to step up support for Ukraine's energy security in light of the continuous attacks on its critical energy infrastructure. In the margins of the Ministerial Meeting, the Commissioner held bilateral meetings with Svitlana Grynchuk, Minister for Energy of Ukraine; Chris Wright, US Secretary for Energy; and Minister Hodgson from Canada.

Commissioner Roswall focused on tackling issues high on the global environment and climate agenda and advance G7 leadership on environmental priorities. This includes extreme weather prediction, preparedness and response; promoting a circular economy and resource efficiency; and catalysing action to tackle the global water crisis. The Commissioner had bilateral meetings with Minister Dabrusin of Canada, Secretary of State Emma Reynolds of the United Kingdom, and State Minister Shigeharu Aoyama of Japan.
