The draft joint statement by each country has been revealed. The timing of the phase-out of coal-fired power generation, which is the focus of the project, is not specified.
Coal will be phased out if measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions such as coal and natural gas cannot be taken. The seven major countries will make fiscal expenditures of 7 trillion yen for mine development and recycling of important minerals. The joint statement is scheduled to be adopted on the 1th of June. The focus is on whether a unified message can be delivered amid the invasion of Ukraine and the confrontation between the United States and China.
