G7 leaders were on Sunday urged to take urgent action to secure the future of the planet, as they finalised new conservation and emissions targets to curb climate change, and wrapped up a three-day summit where revived Western unity has been on show.
Veteran environmentalist and broadcaster David Attenborough told the gathering of the world’s richest nations the natural world was “greatly diminished” and inequality was widespread.
“The question science forces us to address specifically in 2021 is whether as a result of these intertwined facts we are on the verge of destabilising the entire planet?” he said.
“If that is so, then the decisions we make this decade — in particular the decisions made by the most economically advanced nations — are the most important in human history.”
The leaders, holding their first in-person gathering in nearly two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, will agree to protect at least 30 percent of both land and ocean globally by the end of the decade.
The “Nature Compact” struck to try to halt and reverse biodiversity loss is also set to see them commit to nearly halve their carbon emissions by 2030, relative to 2010.
It includes phasing out the use of “unabated coal” — fuel whose emissions have not gone through any filtering — “as soon as possible”, ending most government support for the fossil fuel sector overseas, and phasing out petrol and diesel cars.

Will our Army Tanks have Solar Panels or little windmills??
Our Military runs on fossil fuels.
They should think of switching over more to nuclear (especially those huge cargo ships)
Anti-car = anti-freedom.
Joe doesn’t know what’s going on. He just nods and sign whatever agreements they’re making him sign.
China and India are both third world country, therefore they are developing so they can use as much coal as they want.
Last time I checked, we no longer have a military. Instead it is a social justice organization that gets to yeah so around the world.
*get to travel around the world.
That is true. Absolutely true.
Ueah. Because it’s not fair we don’t live in s holes. Now the whole world cam be a corrupt s hole.
Fixed it.
Honest translation: “You pesky poor dark people who are standing in the way of our whole scale plundering of the valuable resources we need to become even richer are not dying fast enough. We thought we had this taken care of with malaria. Back to the drawing board. Banning fossil fuels looks like a good start.”
Well, when civilization is back to burning dung for cooking and heat I guess these environmentalists job will be done!
Without nuclear power and transmission wires everywhere, it should be called “anti-electricity”.
It would be difficult to find an American coal fired system without a scrubber since the 1999s
The demented poopettet’s puppeteer is also a MORON!
The puppeteer KNOWS no one would EVER vote for him for ANY office again. Hence, the demented, crippled, elderly Trojan horse, COVID and a criminal, TREASONOUS election to install an anti-American regime was devised and enacted!
No one asked for a third Obummer stealth term.
I have talked politics with a lot of elderly, die hard Democrats who now KNOW they made a huge mistake.
I was on the Crusader project. If built it would have been the largest, heaviest mobile cannon since various failed Nazi projects. It was supposed to, at some point, been electrically driven. I talked to the engineers and they agreed the notion was impossible. Agreeing to stupid requirements, as long as they don’t affect profits, is how you get contracts. Besides, everyone knew the project was so stupid it would never go into production.
If the G7 were being honest about this, they would start such a program with massive tariffs on China to get them to reduce coal usage. But they aren’t, this is all about a money and power grab by the elites. So we have the proposals outlined.
