G7 leaders pushed for solidarity on climate change and COVID-19
Dean Kyte urges G7 leaders to make clear climate commitments ahead of COP26, via an article in ExBulletin
Rachel Kyte, dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, said G7 leaders must make a clear commitment to honor the promise made for the first time in 2009 ahead of COP26.
They also need to meet a new climate financing target for 2025 and increase development assistance through international institutions, she said.
All G7 nations need to “come up with” more climate finance while easing the conditions attached to it, she said, with France, Italy, Japan and Canada particularly in need of clarifying their plans.
