On 1 January 2022, the Federal Republic of Germany took over the presidency of the Group of Seven (G7) for one year. Under the motto "Progress for a just world", the leading industrialised nations want to tackle common challenges with their international partners.
The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal forum of leading industrialised nations and democracies. In addition to Germany, it also includes France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Canada and the United States of America. The European Union is also represented at all meetings. The chairmanship rotates annually between the members.
The Federal Government's programme has set itself ambitious targets for improving climate and environmental protection.
The key points of the programme are the protection of the climate, environment and biodiversity. To this end, the establishment of a "G7 Ocean Deal" is planned in order to strengthen joint initiatives by nations to protect the oceans from pollution.
There are also plans to set up a "climate club" to promote international climate protection, as the climate crisis and the extinction of species are directly linked to the constant increase in environmental pollution.
Joint solutions are needed to tackle these problems. To this end, a joint meeting of the environment, climate and energy ministers is planned for May in Berlin.
In addition to environmental and climate policy content and goals, Germany plans to further expand the G7's pioneering role in pandemic prevention and control during its presidency and to promote an improved health structure. In order to achieve the WHO's global vaccination target of 70 per cent of the world's population by mid-2022, Germany is also advocating worldwide access to coronavirus vaccines (COVAX) and local vaccine production in developing countries during its G7 presidency.
This broad range of environmental tasks also sets the course for our daily work. When planning construction projects, for example, the MuP Group not only takes into account the technical boundary conditions, but also pays great attention to the ecological and environmentally sustainable compatibility of the building materials and processes used. Engineering for a better tomorrow!
