He will also host an event on batteries at the EU delegation in Japan with industry players. Later that evening, he will attend the welcome dinner for G7 ministers in Sapporo on behalf of the Commission.

The G7 ministerial meeting will begin with a plenary meeting of climate, energy and environment ministers on Saturday morning.

The subsequent meeting of climate and energy ministers will discuss the first Global Review under the Paris Agreement, the transition to clean energy, energy security, and climate change preparedness and resilience. The aim of the second plenary meeting of the ministers of climate, energy and environment on Sunday is to conclude with the adoption of a ministerial communiqué.
