The G7 Elmau Summit's Performance

John Kirton, G7 Research Group
June 29, 2022

I am grateful for the research assistance of Brittaney Warren, Duja Muhanna, Angela Hou and the other members of the G7 Research Group.

Introduction

The G7 Elmau Summit in Germany on June 26–28, 2022, produced a strong performance. Indeed, in many ways it was the strongest performance since G7 summits started in 1975.

Major Achievements

On the summit's defining challenge of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, performance was very strong. G7 leaders declared their full support for Ukraine "for as long as it takes" to win the war that Russia began four months ago. They backed their bold words with new sanctions on Russia, and more critical economic and military support for Ukraine.

On the central, globally existential challenge of climate change, which Germany had identified as its first priority at the start of its year as host for 2022, performance was strong. It was led by the endorsement of the concept of a "climate club" and the creation of several, by the G7 leaders and their guest colleagues from India, Indonesia, South Africa, Argentina and Senegal when they met on June 27, the summit's second day.

On the third key issue of controlling the continuing COVID-19 pandemic through immediate actions and by strengthening the global health architecture as a whole, performance was strong. Achievements were led by the launch on June 26, the summit's first day, of the Partnership on Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII), to mobilize $600 billion in the coming years for developing and emerging countries to build modern health infrastructure, such as hospitals, primary healthcare centres, cold storage and transportation facilities to keep COVID-19 vaccines effective as they reached those who needed them the most, and even potentially, to allow poor countries to produce and invent safe, effective, affordable vaccines of their own. The PGII also reinforced health and other G7 priorities by highlighting environmental and digital infrastructure as the emphasis, along with the traditional transportation infrastructure of port, bridges, roads and railroads that has new importance in overcoming the broken links in the global supply chains that have fuelled inflation, restricted trade, and harmed the jobs and incomes of those who depend on it.

On the fourth important challenge of the economy and finance, performance as significant. They properly focused first on the current declining economic growth and soaring inflation, and identified Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a key cause and its end as the key cure. They committed to "a stability- and growth-oriented macroeconomic policy mix, which ensures medium-term sustainability of public finances and preserves the resilience of the financial sector."

Summit Shortcomings

To be sure, there were several shortcomings, especially where the Elmau Summit's strong supply of global governance did not keep up with the greater growing global demand and need for it.

On Ukraine, there was little specificity on what new weapon supplies and systems the G7 governments would now give Ukraine, although some of such details were more appropriately left to be announced at the summit of the leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Madrid the following day.

On climate change, leaders did not commit to increase their targets and timetable to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in keeping with what the latest scientific evidence showed they should. They did not promise to produce themselves now for developing countries the overdue climate finance of $100 billion a year. Nor did they promise to end their fossil fuel subsidies now, another pledge now long overdue.

In responding to the current energy crisis, there was insufficient emphasis on conservation, the supply of the reliable renewable energy sources of wave, tidal and geothermal power, and the supply of heat pumps, such as those just proliferating from the US president Joe Biden invoking the Defence Production Act in support, and measures G7 leaders had used in 1979 and 1980 to counter the energy shock of that time.

In their approach to nature-based solutions, there was no reference to the value of preserving peatlands or the critical role of Indigenous peoples in combatting climate change and biodiversity loss.

On the economy, on the critical instrument of creating a new international corporate tax regime, there was only one general commitment, with no promise of additional actions to help the G20-agreed regime be implemented starting now.

Dimensions of Performance

Still, the Elmau Summit's historically strong supply of global governance, relative to all G7 summits before, is confirmed by its new highs on the key dimensions of performance by which all G7 summits all plurilateral summit institutions can be judged and compared (see Appendix A).

Deliberation

On the initial dimension of deliberation, whose public component is measured by the number of documents and words the leaders produce in their summit's public communiqués, Elmau leaders produced nine separate documents, containing 19,179 words in all. They were led by the central 27-page G7 Leaders' Communiqué on June 28 with 12,089 words. Then came the G7 Statement of Support for Ukraine on June 27 with 2,415 words. The G7 Statement on Global Food Security issued on June 28 had 1,192 words and the 2022 Resilient Democracies Statement on June 27 had 1,088 words. Then came the executive summary of the communiqué of June 28 with 725 words, the G7 Chair's Summary: Joining Forces to Accelerate Clean and Just Transition towards Climate Neutrality on June 27 with 593 words, the G7 Statement on Climate Club with 518 words, the annex to the statement on Ukraine with 434 words, and the G7 Leaders' Statement on the Missile Attack on a Shopping Mall in Kremenchuck with 125 words.

By subject, Ukraine led with three separate documents, followed by climate change with two, and food, and democracy with one each.

The total of 19,179 words in Elmau's outcome documents was among the highest in G7 summit history, exceeded only by those from 2004 to 2007, 2009, 2016, and 2021. It was almost double the overall per summit average of 10,166.

On the defining subject of Ukraine, the Elmau leaders produced 4,927 words. This was far more than the previous highs at their special summits in 2022 on March 24 with 963 words, on May 8 with 879 words, and on February 24 with 687 words, and at their previous annual summit in June 2021 at Cornwall in the United Kingdom with 331 words.

Decision Making

On the critical dimension of decision making, measured first by the number of collective, precise, future-oriented, political binding leaders produce and publicly record in their summit outcome documents, the Elmau Summit produced 547 commitments (see Appendix B). This was by far the highest number produced by any G7 summit, well above the previous high of 429 commitments at last year's Cornwall Summit. It was over four times as many as the average of 125 commitments at each of the 47 summits before Elmau.

By subject, the 547 Elmau commitments were led by those on regional security with 63, a category dominated by Russia's war against Ukraine. Climate change came a close second, with 58 commitments. In third place was energy, a subject closely related to both of those above, with 51 commitments.

Then came commitments on the G7's two distinctive foundational missions: human rights with 44 and democracy with 42.

That was followed by health with 41, the environment with 46, food and agriculture with 35, the digital economy with 25, gender with 22, and trade and macroeconomic policy with 19 each. A broader range of 13 subjects, spanning the security, ecological, social and economic domains, each had 19 commitments or more.

Money Mobilized

On the cross-cutting dimension of money mobilized, Elmau raised a total of $610.59 billion (see Appendix C). This was far more than any previous G7 summit and more than twice as much as the $252 billion raised at the Gleneagles Summit in 2005, which focused on debt, aid, trade and AIDS.

For and at Elmau, the money mobilized was led by $600 billion promised by the G7 to mobilize from public and private sources for the PGII, which most G7 leaders announced at a side event at Elmau on the summit's first day. This was followed in volume by $4.5 billion to "protect the most vulnerable from hunger and malnutrition," announced in the statement on global food security, and $3.5 billion to support Ukraine.
