The United Kingdom, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. The countries that make up the G7.

What Is the G7?

Founded in 1975. The G7 (Group of Seven) Summit is an inter-governmental political meeting, where some of the world’s wealthiest countries leaders get together. The G7 countries are great powers in worldwide dealings and have an equally similar military, economy and diplomatic relationships. Apart from the G7, guest representatives from other countries and international organisations, such as the European Union also often attend. The leaders meet every year at a formal, prestigious venue to discuss major global problems. The issues usually concern trade, security, economic issues, health emergencies and of course climate change and how to prevent a complete crisis.

Why Is the G7 Summit Important?

The importance of the G7 Summit is great. It is the foundation of action plan making in order to advance positively. During the meet, decisions are made that can impact the world, its environment, economy and people immensely. This year’s G7 Summit is perhaps one of the most significant due to the vast challenges we have recently faced globally.  Plans of how we can build back better and recover from the fatal pandemic, its economic consequences and the continuing climate crisis needs to be made and lead by the G7. Additionally, the world’s nations need to unite, and support each.

How Can I Contribute Towards Building Back Greener?

The highest priority and most highlighted issue addressed during the summit, was that of the climate crisis we are facing. Now, more than ever. Being a part of the positive movement to protect our planet is important.

One of the best ways to create a positive change is by reducing our carbon emissions by using renewable energy. Renewable energy can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint and has several benefits, making the upgrade well worth it.

Reduce your carbon footprint

By avoiding the use of fossil fuels, you can dramatically reduce your carbon emissions. In fact, the installation of solar panels on an average Cornish UK home can eliminate carbon emission that would result from burning over 2 500 pounds of coal a year.

Money saving

Secondly, renewable energy is free and inexhaustible. This means big savings on your energy bills. Apart from this, renewable technologies are highly efficient and require minimal maintenance. Moreover, when serviced professionally, you can also increase the lifespan of your systems immensely.

Improve your homes air quality

No carbon emissions means better air quality. Some renewable energy systems even guard against the development of dust mites and decreases the growth of mould due to the lowering of humidity in your home.

Receive financial incentive

Renewable energy technologies also bring government financial incentive through schemes. Like that of Domestic RHI and SEG. By obtaining these incentives and the additional savings on your energy bills. You could make back a large portion – if not all- of your initial investment. Making the upgrade to renewable energy a no brainer.

Future-proof your property

It is only a matter of time until the use of fossil fuels will be banned. In a recent report, The International Energy Agency (IEA) has already advised on the banning of gas boilers by the year 2025. Apart from this, the UK government has also pledged to Net-Zero by the year 2050.

Achieve a high energy efficiency rating

Renewable energy technologies are highly efficient and can increase your ratings between A++ to A+++. When considering an example. An Air source heat pump is a great choice. It has an efficiency rate of 300%-400% compared to your traditional gas boiler of 90%.

Potentially increase property value

Finally, when installed correctly, renewable energy technologies can increase your property value, making them the perfect investment for you and the planet.
