Jacob Rudolph and Angus MacKellar
and the G7 Research Group
15 March 2025
The 2024 G7 Apulia Summit Interim Compliance Report reviews progress made on 20 selected commitments made by G7 leaders at the 2024 Apulia Summit hosted by Italy on 13-15 June 2025. It covers actions taken by G7 members between 15 June 2024 to 20 December 2024 only (see Table A). A report covering the full period between the 2024 and 2025 summits will be released just before the leaders meet in Kananaskis, Canada, in June 2024. The preface and summary of the findings are listed below, with rankings by country and by issue.

The report contains the following sections, which can be downloaded separately:
This compliance report begins with the 2024 Apulia Summit hosted by Italy on 13-15 June 2024. It assesses actions taken by the G7 members to fulfil 20 priority commitments of the 469 commitments made at Apulia during the period of 15 June 2024 to 20 December 2024.
To conduct these assessments, researchers rely on publicly available information, documentation and media reports of actions taken beginning the day after the release of the Apulia G7 Leaders' Communiqué.
The G7 Research Group has been producing annual compliance reports since 1996. It began publishing interim reports in 2002 to assess progress at the time of the transition from the outgoing G7 presidency to the incoming presidency each 1 January. These reports are offered to the general public and to policy makers, academics, civil society, the media and interested citizens around the world in an effort to make the work of the G7 more transparent and accessible, and to provide scientific data to enable meaningful analysis of the impact of this unique informal international institution.
Based at the University of Toronto and founded in 1987, the G7 Research Group strives to be the leading independent source of information and analysis on the institutions, performance, issues and participants of the G7 summit and system of global governance. It is a global network of scholars, students and professionals. The group oversees the G7 Information Centre, which publishes freely available research on the G7 as well as official documents issued by the G7.
This report is produced entirely on a voluntary basis. It receives no direct financial support from any source. It comes from a process entirely insulated from the other major activities of the G7 Research Group, such as its pre-summit conferences sponsored by various institutions or the "background books" produced GT Media.
To ensure the accuracy, comprehensiveness and integrity of these reports, comments and suggestions are always welcome. Indeed, this is a living document, and the scores can be recalibrated if new material becomes available. All feedback remains anonymous and is never attributed. Responsibility for this report's contents lies exclusively with the report's authors and the analysts of the G7 Research Group.
The work of the G7 Research Group would not be possible without the steadfast dedication of many people around the world. This report is the product of a team of energetic and hard-working analysts led by Jacob Rudolph and Angus MacKellar, co-chairs of summit studies, Mahek Kaur, Petrina van Nieuwstadt, Brinda Batra, and Ilya Goheen, the editors, and their team of compliance directors, lead analysts and analysts. It would also not be possible without the efforts of Professor John Kirton, director of the G7 Research Group, Brittaney Warren, director of compliance studies, Dr. Ella Kokotsis, director of accountability, and Madeline Koch, executive director. We are also indebted to the many people who provide feedback on our drafts, whose comments are always carefully considered in the published report.
The G7 Research Group's Interim Compliance Report on the 2024 Apulia Summit assesses the compliance of the G7 members with 20 priority commitments selected from the total of 469 made at the Apulia Summit on 13-15 June 2024. It evaluates members' implementing actions taken only between 15 June 2024 and 20 December 2024 and offers a snapshot on progress as the presidency shifts from Italy for 2024 to Canada for 2025. A final compliance report will cover the full period between the Apulia Summit and the Kananaskis Summit and will be released in early June 2025 just before the leaders meet.
This selection of commitments reflects the breadth and focus of the Apulia Summit's agenda, including macroeconomic stability in the midst of a global inflation crisis, addressing the food security crisis, managing borders, and promoting clean energy domestically and abroad. The 2024 agenda also covered the usual issues addressed by the G7 alongside the pressing regional security concerns regarding the conflict in Ukraine including a landmark commitment to use proceeds from frozen Russian sovereign assets to repay loans to Ukraine.
Table A lists the 20 Apulia commitments selected for monitoring.
The previous compliance reports are available for review here.
Compliance is measured on a three-point scientific scale. A score of +1 (100%) indicates full compliance with a commitment, a score of 0 (50%) indicates partial compliance or a work in progress, and a score of −1 (0%) indicates non-compliance or a failure to comply or action taken that is counter to the commitment.
For the period of 15 June 2024 to 20 December 2024, average compliance for the 20 commitments assessed is +0.77 (88%). Compared to previous interim reports, it is higher than the interim scores for 2022 Elmau and 2021 Cornwall summits, which both had a score of +0.70 (85%) but lower than the interim score for the preceding 2023 Hiroshima Summit of +0.82 (91%) and the 2020 Virtual Summit of +0.85 (93%).
Table B contains the full breakdown of all the interim compliance scores by issue and by member for the 2024 Apulia Summit. Table C contains the scores from the previous four summits.
The European Union ranked first with an average compliance score of +0.95 (98%), followed by the United Kingdom and United States at +0.90 (95%), and 2025 host Canada at +0.80 (90%). These members were followed by Germany at +0.75 (88%), 2024 host Italy at +0.70 (85%), France at +0.60 (80%) and Japan at +0.55 (78%). This is a different configuration from the 2023 interim scores, when the United States ranked first with +0.95 (98%), followed by France at +0.90 (95%), Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union each at +0.85 (93%) and Italy and Japan, at +0.65 (83%). See Table C.
Of the 20 commitments assessed, six already had interim compliance scores of +1.00 (100%): one on clean energy, one on forest protection, one on the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, one on financial and price stability, one on Ukraine, and one on Israel and Palestine. The commitments on climate adaptation and global food security had the lowest compliance of +0.13 (56%). See Table D.
These interim results from the 2024 Apulia Summit show a difference of 0.40 between the highest and lowest scoring members.
The information contained within this report provides G7 members and other stakeholders with an indication of the G7 members' compliance with 20 commitments for the period beginning immediately after the 2024 Apulia Summit on 15 June 2024 until 20 December 2024. As with previous compliance reports, this report has been produced as an invitation for others to provide additional or more complete information on G7 members' compliance. Comments are always welcomed and would be considered as part of an analytical reassessment. Please send your feedback to g7@utoronto.ca.
