The G7 2026 Evian Summit Goals Report is prepared by the G7 Research Group based at the University of Toronto. It identifies the goals set for the Evian Summit on June 15–17, 2026, hosted by France, and provides the basis for a qualitative assessment of how well these goals will be achieved by the G7 leaders, which will be conducted after the summit.
The report is split into two categories: by subject and by G7 member. The Goals Set and Met Report will include averages for both categories to produce the overall evaluation score for the summit as a whole.
G7 Research Group analysts have based the goals set by subject on priorities expressed in the Evian Summit agenda as published by France’s presidency and also priorities carried over from previous summits, as well as corresponding priorities expressed through global commitments. The goals by member are drawn from national policy addresses (e.g., State of the Union Address or budget speeches), speeches in public forums such as the United Nations General Assembly and the World Economic Forum, news releases and readouts, and other publicly available information. Five to seven priority goals have been identified for each subject and member (see Tables 1 and 2). They are expressed as closely as possible to the style of language used in G7 outcome documents, to facilitate the assessment of the goals met at the Evian Summit, using the standard matching methodology developed and applied by the G7 Research Group.
If the 2026 Evian Summit is to be successful on these subjects, it must do the following in order of importance.
