For the 21st consecutive year, national science academies, including the RSC, have signed statements that contribute the best available knowledge and insights to G7 leaders for the G7 Summit. This year’s summit will take place in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025.
Each year, a different member state assumes the presidency of the G7 and hosts the summit on a rotating basis. In 2025, as the G7 marks the 50th anniversary of its first summit, Canada assumed the presidency for the seventh time.
In preparation for the upcoming summit, the G7 national academies convened in Ottawa, from May 6-8, under the theme “Advancing Science for Society: Health, Migration and Technologies.” The Academies discussed and presented joint statements with recommendations for addressing three global challenges: advanced technologies and data security; sustainable migration; and climate action and health resilience.
The statements were officially submitted to the Government of Canada on May 8 and are now being forwarded to the government leadership of each G7 country via the Sherpa process.
