G7 Finance Ministers’ meeting took place on 4 to 5 June. We have agreed to make efforts for introducing a system of mandatory disclosure of financial information related to climate change under domestic regulatory frameworks, respectively, in line with the overall framework of the TCFD with regard to climate change and other environmental issues.
