In a historic move, the G7 countries have reached an agreement to phase out coal-fired power plants, marking a significant step towards combating climate change. The agreement, made at the G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministerial Meeting, sets a deadline for the closure of coal-fired power plants, with Japan facing increasing pressure to comply.

The meeting, which concluded on the evening of the 30th, saw Japan standing firm on its position despite growing isolation within the G7. The agreement puts pressure on Japan to accelerate its transition to renewable energy sources and reduce its reliance on coal.

The decision comes amidst a global push for countries to reduce their carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources to combat the effects of climate change. Japan’s stance on coal-fired power plants has been a topic of debate, with critics calling for more ambitious targets to address the climate crisis.

As the world grapples with the urgent need to address climate change, the G7 agreement on phasing out coal-fired power plants is seen as a significant step towards achieving global climate goals. Japan’s response to this agreement and its plans for transitioning to cleaner energy sources will be closely watched in the coming months.
