G7 puts fossil fuel future in its crosshairs

摘要

THE Group of Seven (G7) members have agreed to phase out support for "carbon intensive" fossil fuels as they look to limit a rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The G7 environment and climate ministers met virtually this month and confirmed they would aim to keep a limit of a 1.5 degree Celsius temperature rise "within reach" by making their 2030 ambitions consistent with the aim of achieving net zero emissions as soon as possible and no later than 2050.
