Seven major nations to shut down coal-fired power plants

World

The biggest nations of the globe, collectively known as the G7, have made a novel decision about mitigating climate change. That is, by 2035, to shut down every coal-fired power plant in their nations.

One of the primary goals of this is to inspire other nations to be successful in their efforts to prepare a global climate change programme.

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, and Great Britain make up the G7.

Electricity is generated by coal-fired power plants at a sixteen percent rate in these countries.

Japan alone has generated thirty-two percent of its electricity from coal-fired power plants in 2023.

China and India are two of the world’s largest emitters of fossil fuels. Saudi Arabia and Russia are two other significant fossil fuel-burning nations.
