Today, G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers issued a communique ahead of next month's G7 Leaders Summit that leaves the door open for investments in new capacity and endorses fossil fuel-based technologies promoted by Japan, this year’s G7 host.

As G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers prepare to meet in Japan, two new briefings launched today show the extent to which G7 countries are succeeding and failing in holding up their climate and energy security commitments.Â

This briefing explains how Japan’s “Green Transformation (GX)” policy is a greenwashing exercise designed to benefit corporate interests and prolong the use of fossil fuels when renewable energy solutions are reliable, available, cleaner, and cheaper.Â
"The World Bank cannot be effective on climate action until it stops adding fuel to the fire. We'll be looking to shareholders and Bank leadership to make serious commitments to stop all forms of support for fossil fuels,” said O'Manique.
