promoting active role of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
fields. We endorse to the G7 Guiding Principles for Building the Capacity of Women and Girls as
common guiding principles for our actions.
Cyber: We strongly support an accessible, open, interoperable, reliable and secure cyberspace
as one essential foundation for economic growth and prosperity. We promote digital adoption for
improved quality of life, by bridging digital divides, enabling innovative business models and
affordable universal and high quality access to Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) as well as enhancing digital literacy. We endorse the G7 Principles and Actions on Cyber
and commit to take decisive actions.
Anti-Corruption: Our collective and individual action to fight corruption is critical for economic
growth, sustainable development and maintaining peace and security. We resolve to take
measures to improve public procurement transparency, enhance fiscal transparency, and
improve anti-corruption capacity building as well as strengthen law enforcement cooperation.
We will also promote global effort to fight corruption. We endorse the G7 Action to Fight
Corruption as our commitment to lead by example in moving the global anti-corruption agenda
forward.
Climate: The G7, continuing to take a leadership role, commits to taking the necessary steps to
secure ratification, acceptance or approval of the Paris Agreement as soon as possible, and
calls on all Parties to do so striving for a goal of entry into force in 2016. We commit to take the
lead by early, transparent and robust implementation of our nationally determined contributions,
and promoting increased ambition over time. We also commit to actively participate in the
regular review of global stock-take progress every five years. We commit to formulate and
communicate ambitions mid-century long-term low greenhouse gas (GHG) emission
development strategies well ahead of the 2020 deadline.
Energy: Recognizing the important role that the energy system has to play in the implementation
of the Paris Agreement, we are determined to accelerate our work towards the transition to an
energy system that enables a decarbonization of the global economy, and commit to further
invest in supporting innovation in energy technologies and encouraging clean energy and
energy efficiency, so as to ensure economic growth with reduced GHG emissions. Faced with
the increased uncertainty posed by the current energy price levels, we also commit to play a
leading role in facilitating energy investments, in particular investments in quality energy
infrastructure and upstream development.
