G7: What happened in Elmau and what's next

The German government planned on making climate and sustainability the main topics of its G7 presidency.

Hence, only little progress was made on the climate and energy agenda. In this briefing, we outline what the G7 Leaders’ Summit was able to achieve, which gaps remained, and where to go from there.
