13:21
Environment and energy ministers from the G7 countries pledged on Sunday to accelerate the process of departing from fossil fuels to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 but did not specify a deadline for giving up coal energy.
Reuters noted that the issue of energy security has become more urgent due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"We will dramatically increase the amount of electricity generated from renewable energy," the G7 ministers wrote in a statement.
