World leaders meeting in Cornwall are to adopt strict measures on coal-fired power stations as part of the battle against climate change.
The G7 group will promise to move away from coal plants, unless they have technology to capture carbon emissions.
It comes as Sir David Attenborough warned that humans could be "on the verge of destabilising the entire planet".
He said G7 leaders faced the most important decisions in human history.
Coal is the world's dirtiest major fuel and ending its use is seen as a major step by environmentalists, but they also want guarantees rich countries will deliver on previous promises to help poorer nations cope with climate change.
The G7 will end the funding of new coal generation in developing countries and offer up to £2bn ($2.8bn)to stop using the fuel. Climate change has been one of the key themes at the three-day summit in Carbis Bay, Cornwall.
As well as the measures on coal and ending almost all direct government support for the fossil fuel sector overseas, the G7 is expected to phase out petrol and diesel cars.
BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin said there had been "a crucial lack of detail on two questions so far: the proposed green masterplan to help developing countries get clean technology and the amount of cash richer [countries] will hand to the poorer to tackle the climate crisis".

Let me guess... these “measures” will apply to the US immediately, and to the rest of the world by the year 3155. Am I close?
Good thing we elected David Attenborough to save our planet. I don’t know where we’d be without him telling us what to do.

Huge tariffs on Chinese-made goods?
Huge tariffs on all imports from the 3rd world.
China’s still building coal plants as they lie to the globalists.
Yeah, right.
Ship our coal to our enemies to save the planet...
Well, they do like to fool around.....
..or sit around soaking up the sun allot...
I gotta say...this G-7 Summit has to be about the boringest summit ever! Unlike when Trump attended and they really had to actually work!
Do they have any idea of how stupid they look?
This must have been a PC lovefest.
If humanity is to survive, we may have to start rooting for the Chinese as they build more coal fired power plants. The rest of the planet has a suicidal madness and wishes to exterminate itself.
Is that how aliens have sex?
Clear proof that we are being ruled by our lessors.
Global Warming PING!
Who is the woman?
We’ll just burn more wood at the metmom household.
Nuclear is not safe, clean energy. People are insane and stupid.
Well, I guess all-out war between the totalitarian seekers and the freedom seekers would destabilize the entire planet for a while.
