G20 ministers do not agree on aiming to peak emissions by 2025, moving to clean energy and a tax on carbon as a way to reduce emissions
In a gathering in Chennai in India, ministers from the Group of 20 countries – who emit around 80% of the world’s planet-warming gases – failed to agree on four of 68 points of discussion.
“We couldn’t get a consensus but we agreed on a lot,” said Canada’s climate minister Steven Guilbeault at a virtual press conference after the meeting. The world has currently warmed around 1.2 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times and effects are already being felt all over the world, with hosts India especially vulnerable. Earlier this year, more than 100 people died during a heat wave in the center of the country and last week at least 27 people died in western India due to landslides triggered by heavy rains.
Earlier this month, a meeting of finance chiefs and central bank governors of the G-20 leading economies ended in Gandhinagar in the western state of Gujarat without a consensus because of differences between countries over the war in Ukraine.
