G20 draft tweaked to reflect dissent on cutting ‘unabated’ fossil fuels
BAMBOLIM, India (Reuters) – A draft statement by Group of 20 energy officials was edited on Saturday to reflect concerns from some members on phasing down “unabated” fossil fuels, according to documents reviewed by Reuters and two people familiar with the matter.
Major fossil fuel producers Saudi Arabia and Russia have opposed a proposal to triple G20 countries’ renewable energy capacity in long debates at a ministers’ meeting in India working on a statement for the G20 summit in the capital New Delhi in September.
