Investing in growth that works for everyone Investing in people, communities, and the economy creates growth. Building a system that is fair and open and ensuring that all citizens have the support, resources, and confidence they need to succeed will create jobs and growth that will benefit everyone. 2. Preparing for jobs of the future We need to help everyone get the skills they need to find and keep good jobs not just today, but in tomorrow s economy as well. 3. Advancing gender equality and women's empowerment Advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women isn t just the right thing to do, it s also the smart thing to do for economies. When women and girls succeed, everyone succeeds. The importance of gender equality and empowerment will be woven through all G7 themes and activities, to ensure G7 counties are being truly inclusive as they advance their priorities. 1 For daily updates, follow G7 Canada Twitter account (@G7Canada) and access the G7 Canadian government website 2

3 4. Working together on climate change, oceans, and clean energy It is more urgent than ever that the world comes together to fight climate change, including by investing in clean energy and developing innovative clean technologies. G7 countries also need to protect vulnerable ecosystems and manage limited resources properly. That s why Canada s G7 will also focus on oceans, both as a precious part of our natural heritage and as a source of sustainable economic opportunity. 5. Building a more peaceful and secure world As the nature of conflict changes, it s more important than ever before to reach out to partners and build solutions that can deliver lasting peace. That s something all G7 countries want, and something they ll work hard to achieve.
