The G7 nations have agreed to end the use of unabated coal power plants by 2035. This agreement allows countries heavily reliant on coal and power plants fitted with carbon-capture technology some flexibility. The decision marks a significant climate milestone for the G7 countries, which include the UK, US, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, and Japan. This is the first time a target has been set on coal. The world’s largest coal power consumers, China and India, continue to build new coal plants.
