World leaders may face wildfire smoke at Canada G7 summit
- World leaders gathered June 13, 2025, in Kananaskis, Alberta, for the G7 summit hosted by Prime Minister Mark Carney amid widespread wildfires in Canada.
- The event followed a severe wildfire season burning 3.7 million hectares, causing tens of thousands of evacuations across western Canada due to climate change effects.
- Canada battles 225 active blazes, 120 uncontrollable, mostly in British Columbia and northern Alberta, while Calgary near Kananaskis faces high risk of poor air quality.
- Officials stated the burned area is the second-largest in decades, and authorities implemented safety measures for wildfires, tornadoes, and floods during the summit preparations.
- Despite wildfire challenges and potential smoke warnings, Carney sought broad diplomatic engagement by inviting non-G7 leaders and aiming to deepen global economic and security discussions.
