2024 Apulia Summit Goals Set

Compiled by Samraggi Hazra and Ambra Bisagni, Co-chairs of Summit Studies, G7 Research Group
May 18, 2024

The G7 2024 Apulia Summit Goals Report is prepared by the G7 Research Group based at the University of Toronto. It identifies the goals set for the Apulia Summit on June 13–15, 2024, hosted by Italy, 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 Apulia Summit agenda as published by Italy's presidency and also priorities carried over from previous summits, as well as corresponding priorities expressed through global commitments such as the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals. The goals by member are drawn from national policy addresses (e.g., State of the Union Address or the Speech from the Throne), 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 six priority goals have been identified and ranked 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 Apulia Summit, using the standard matching methodology developed and applied by the G7 Research Group.
