Leaders gathering for the 2026 G7 summit face a crowded agenda shaped in part by World Economic Forum analysis that placed extreme weather at the top of long-term risks confronting governments worldwide.
Diplomats said middle-power nations are pressing for greater influence as industrialized democracies weigh how to coordinate responses to intensifying heat waves, droughts and other climate-driven hazards.
Forum researchers warned that rising temperatures and erratic precipitation patterns are no longer distant projections but immediate planning challenges for finance ministers, infrastructure agencies and public health systems.
Summit organizers are expected to devote substantial session time to adaptation financing, early-warning networks and cross-border cooperation on disaster response as the group seeks measurable commitments beyond prior climate pledges.
