Energy ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) wealthy countries reached a deal to shut down their coal-fired power plants by 2035 at the latest, in a significant step towards the transition away from fossil fuels.
“We have an agreement to stop using coal in the first half of 2030’s… it is an historical agreement,” Britain’s minister for Energy Security and Net Zero Andrew Bowie told Class CNBC according to a video posted on X.
Italian diplomatic sources said a technical deal had been reached.
