tion, refining, recycling and storage. We must also protect our markets from unfair competition and increase traceability to give us the means to do so, while promoting innovation and the circular economy. COOPERATION ON CANCER We must pursue our efforts to fight cancer. About ten mil- lion people die of cancer every year, representing one in five deaths worldwide. Progress made over the past two decades in prevention, screening and therapeutic innovations has led to a reduction in mortality, particularly notable in G7 countries. How- ever, major challenges remain, especially for cancers with poor prognoses, paediatric cancers, and those affecting adolescents and young adults. This is why it is essential to facilitate data sharing within the G7 for paediatric and young adult cancers, allowing better research powered by artificial intelligence. The eradication of cervical cancer through HPV vaccination should also be achievable. FIGHTING NARCOTRAFFICKING AND ILLICIT FINANCIAL FLOWS
G7 countries must cooperate to fight against transnational threats, notably drugs, and the financing of terror- ism. While 70% of drugs enter our territories through ports, the G7 will continue the work started on se- curing ports against drug trafficking by reinforcing our port coordina- tion. In addition, by organising the fifth edition of the No Money for Terror Summit in Paris in May, we renewed our commitment to fight illicit financial flows diverted by terrorist organisations and that derives from their criminal activities.
PROTECTION OF MINORS ONLINE
As digital technologies increas- ingly shape economic and social interactions, both locally and
globally, policymakers face more complex choices. The impacts on our lives as individuals and societies are profound and multifaceted, affect- ing some more than others, such as the youngest. The G7 Évian summit will take place in continuity with the AI Action Sum- mit held in 2025 in Paris. It will be crucial to engage tech companies and states in ensuring a safe and secure digital space for minors, notably with discussions on age-appropriate features and the design of social media and conversational AI agents. * Quote extracted from President Emmanuel Macron’s launch of the 2026 French G7 Presidency, 15 December 2025
