The officials issued a 36-page communique laying out their commitments ahead of a G-7 summit in Hiroshima in May.Japan won endorsements from fellow G-7 countries for its own national strategy emphasizing so-called clean coal, hydrogen and nuclear energy to help ensure its energy security.
"We call on and will work with other countries to end new unabated coal-fired power generation projects globally as soon as possible to accelerate the clean energy transition in a just manner," the document says. The issue of setting a timeline for phasing out coal-fired power plants is a longstanding sticking point. Japan relies on coal for nearly one-third of its power generation and is also promoting the use of so-called clean coal, using technology to capture carbon emissions, to produce hydrogen -- which produces only water when used as fuel.
The president-designate for the next United Nations climate talks, the COP28, who was also attending the talks in Sapporo, issued a statement urging G-7 nations to increase financial support for developing countries' transitions to clean energy. He said developed countries must follow through on a US$100 billion pledge they made at the 2009 COP15 meeting. The next talks are to be held in Dubai in late November.
The document crafted in Sapporo included significant amounts of nuance to allow for differences between the G-7 energy strategies, climate advocates said.
HYPOCRISY..... the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.
When you're as old as I am and you've gotten rich lying about the weather.
talk. thats all it ever is, talk.
John Kerry, the jetsetter climate thug that says if you pay more taxes it will stop global warming and sea level rise. He's so afraid of sea level rise, he just bought an $11million mansion on the ocean. ClimateScam
They should worry more about nuclear war. Or maybe that's what they want?
These crazy globalists are going to bankrupt the western countries with there ideology.
In other words complete authoritarian control over the people and more jet setting and wealth accumulation for them.
Nope. Didn't vote for this.
Dream on John China 🇨🇳 and India 🇮🇳 are buying 1.5 million barrels of Russia 🇷🇺 oil a day what is the carbon tax for
does that mean Kerry no longer will fly on a private jet?
I wonder how the calculate their carbon equation when it takes a crap load more to mine the minerals for electric vehicles. Are deaths of children and women dying in the lithium and cobalt mines a carbon offset?
Coal enabled 1st Britain & then the US to ban slavery. Oil enabled Britain & USA to defeat Nazism & the Soviet Union. China knows this. That's why they're pushing the 'renewable energy, zero carbon' ideology in the US & why nobody in that ideology objects to China's behaviour.
Just another scam 🙄
More climstards
PUT SOME MORE BOTOX IN YOUR FACE YA GOMER🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Idiots😂😂
Renewable energy = higher prices and lower reliability.
And billionaires like him can certainly afford it. Why does anyone take seriously what people like him say?
Do you know the guy you put in the picture has a private jet, right?
G7 vows to continue the climate change grift to continue to bankrupt western economies
G7 members will fly coach instead of their private jets?
