The world’s richest nations have agreed to end their financial support for coal development overseas, in a major step towards phasing out the dirtiest fossil fuel.
At a meeting of the G7 environment and energy ministers, held virtually by the UK on Thursday and Friday, after nearly two days of wrangling all reaffirmed their commitment to limiting global heating to 1.5C, and committed to phase out coal and fully decarbonise their energy sectors in the 2030s.
