The Honourable Julie Dabrusin, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, alongside the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, co-hosted the G7 Energy and Environment Ministers' Meeting in Toronto, Ontario, on October 30 and 31, 2025. The meeting brought together ministers from the world's leading economies, as well as global partners and allies, to bring focus to shared priorities for energy security, environmental protection, and addressing climate change.
Building on commitments from the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, environment discussions focused on global cooperation to protect fresh water and ocean ecosystems; improve resource efficiency; and address extreme weather prediction, preparedness, and response, including for wildfires.
Achieved outcomes included:
- The G7 Water Coalition Workplan, which commits to enhanced global co-operation on water security, pollution prevention, and climate-driven water risks.
- The Toronto Action Plan on Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency, a three-year plan building on efforts led by Germany and other past G7 presidencies, which sets a roadmap for G7 co-operation to promote resource efficiency and combat pollution in high priority sectors, including critical minerals, textiles, and plastics.
