This year’s G7 Summit is being held in Évian-les-Bains, France, June 15–17, hosted by President Emmanuel Macron, who will be presiding over his last summit. As presidents of France can serve only two consecutive terms, President Macron will demit office in May 2027 and proceed into retirement. He first became president of France in 2017 at age 39, making him the youngest French head of state since Napoleon Bonaparte. He will retire at age 49.

The G7 — the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan — is now described as comprising the world’s most developed, industrialised, and democratic countries. The European Union (EU) always attends. The guests at this summit are Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates.

The agenda will cover: the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence; global economic growth and financial stability; energy security and the clean energy transition to tackle climate change; strengthening food security and supply chains; and ensuring the availability of critical minerals.
