The G7 Summit and the Bonn Climate Conference 2025 Fail to Deliver, Mounting Pressure on COP30
Military conflicts, trade wars and geopolitics distracted attention from the climate crisis at this year's Bonn Conference and G7 Summit. However, as the Paris Agreement marks its tenth anniversary, countries should demonstrate ambition in their NDCs and use COP30 to outline a clear vision for the next and most important decade for global climate action.
50 Years of G7: The Group’s Climate Leadership Hinges on Japan and Its Energy Policies
The processes taking place on the domestic stage in Japan, as well as its foreign energy policy, have a direct reflection on the image of the G7, which is supposed to lead the global energy transition and the efforts to minimise the impacts of climate change and protect the most vulnerable.
Does Japan Care About the Environment
Japan's role as a member of G7 is pushing its subpar environmental performance into the spotlight. Inadequate emissions reduction goals, a high rate of fossil fuel imports and questionable fishing practices highlight this. These concerns will only grow more dire for the climate-vulnerable country and must be addressed.
G7 Ministerial Meetings 2024 – Outcomes
The G7 has sent a clear message that it is moving away from coal. While a good start, the targets are vague and insufficient for a 1.5°C-aligned world. The G20 and COP29 summits and the upcoming NDC updates round provide the perfect opportunities to accelerate progress.
The G7’s Responsibility to Help Bangladesh and Other Climate-affected Countries
At the approaching 2023 G7 meeting, the world expects global leaders to address the elephant in the room: fossil fuel phase-out. The G7 must set an example and develop a unified vision to help address climate change – an issue heavily impacting developing nations.
G7 Ministers’ Meeting 2023: What Is the Desired Outcome?
The G7 Climate and Energy Ministerial Meeting is shaping up to be a roadshow for Japan's questionable technologies. If the world is to stand a chance in limiting climate change to 1.5°C, the G7 reject the proposals, speed up coal phase-out and limit gas investments.
The G7 Summit 2022: A Recap of the 48th G7 Meeting and Where Leaders Failed
Leaders at the G7 Summit 2022 have taken some good steps but also some questionable ones, leaving a huge gap to fill leading up to COP27. Whether they follow on their pledges will show if there is any chance for the world’s net-zero journey to succeed. Because so far, the signs aren’t promising.
IEA Gives G7 a Pathway for Decarbonising Steel and Heavy Industry
Decarbonising steel and hard-to-abate sectors is crucial for global net-zero aspirations. While challenging, it is possible, and IEA's list of recommendations set the perfect foundation for G7 countries to start leading by example.
