The Group of Seven (G7) countries call on the need to ensure energy security through actions including natural gas investments, calling it a "temporary" step as they accelerate the phase-out of our dependency on Russian energy.
The Climate and Environment Ministers of the G7, despite disagreements between Japan and European nation, eventually agreed in April that gas investments "can be appropriate to help address potential market shortfalls" after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resulting disruption in global energy markets.
The G7 Hiroshima Leaders’ Communique changed the language, eventually formulated by Germany, to include gas investments again, according to sources.
