No climate focus at G7 summit: Scholz once again challenged

Japan could try to push the climate policy aspects of the negotiations to the back burner at the upcoming G7 summit in Hiroshima. This might not be too difficult, given the pressing issues on the agenda: Ukraine, the economic crisis, relations with China and nuclear disarmament. Japan also continues to invest in fossil fuel infrastructure and accordingly has little interest in ambitious climate policy. All the more reason for the other G7 countries to underline the climate policy goals of previous G7 presidencies.
