Coal is to be phased out in the richest industrialized nations by 2035. This was agreed by the G7 energy, environment and climate ministers at the ministerial meeting in Turin on Monday. Petter Lydén, Head of International Climate Policy at Germanwatch, commented on the decision, saying that Germany would have to phase out coal „at least three years earlier than previously agreed“. This is great progress, but not enough. In order to meet the Paris climate targets, „at least all industrialized countries would have to phase out coal by 2030“.
