All eyes on G20 climate summit in Chennai
The Morning Standard
|July 28, 2023
All G20 environment and climate ministers will attend meeting, including the US special envoy John Kerry
ALL eyes are on G20 environmental and climate sustainability ministerial meeting scheduled in Chennai on Friday. A communique is expected to be released on Friday (July 28), but the burning question is whether a consensus will be reached on contentious issues like cutting fossil fuel usage, climate finance and global stocktake.
All G20 environment and climate ministers are attending the meeting including the United States special envoy for climate, John Kerry.
While the failed talks at G20 energy track in Goa is some indication, the news from the two-day Environment and Climate Sustainability Working Group is that there is some resistance from a number of countries regarding cutting back on fossil fuel usage. An official, who is attending the meeting, said Wednesday’s negotiations went on till 2.45 am and resumed again.
With COP28 just 125 days away, this G20 ministerial meeting’s outcome gains immense significance.
