The USA has adopted a policy, but it is not public.<\/p>\n<p>The G7 members that have followed through, Canada, the UK and France, are in a strong position to push back against backsliding at the G7 Leaders\u2019 Summit, while supporting fellow members in their implementation efforts.<\/p>\n<h3>Redirecting billions towards clean energy<\/h3>\n<p>An Oil Change International briefing <a href=\"https:\/\/priceofoil.org\/2023\/04\/11\/briefing-g7-countries-can-shift-billions-into-clean-energy-if-they-strengthen-their-commitment-to-end-international-fossil-finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">underlines<\/a> the importance of advancing this agenda. It shows that between 2020 and 2022 fossil fuel support from G7 countries totalled at least $73 billion. This is almost 2.6 times their clean energy support over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>By upholding last year\u2019s commitments, the G7 can directly shift $24.3 billion a year in public finance out of fossil fuels and into clean energy.\u00a0 This would raise G7 finance to a sum almost large enough to close the clean energy access gap.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/climatechangenews.com\/2023\/05\/12\/cop28-moots-oil-and-gas-initiative-despite-greenwash-accusations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cop28 moots<\/strong> oil and gas initiative despite greenwash accusations<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rather than promoting outdated and climate-destroying fossil fuel technologies across Asia and Africa, Japan should meet its promise to end international finance for fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>It should also ensure that, together with fellow rich countries, it delivers its fair share of climate, loss and damage and just energy transition finance support to the Global South.<\/p>\n<p>Shifting to clean energy and phasing out fossil fuel reliance is critical to permanently bring down soaring energy costs and increase energy security.<\/p>\n<p>Renewable energy technologies are more affordable and can be scaled up more rapidly. They also help avoid fiscal instability linked to volatile fossil fuel prices and stranded asset risks as global gas demand drops.<\/p>\n<h3>A plea to Japan<\/h3>\n<p>Japan should not be allowed to continue to misuse its position as the G7 host to promote its fossil-fuel heavy energy strategy. Japan, and other G7 countries who are breaking their commitments, are harming our planet, and it is time for the world to hold them accountable.<\/p>\n<p>The only effective answer to the climate crisis and energy security objectives is explicitly ruling out investments in new upstream gas and liquified fossil gas infrastructure, delivering on commitments to end international public finance for fossil fuels and phase-out fossil fuels in line with 1.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>By shifting to renewable energy and phasing out fossil fuel reliance, we can secure a more secure, prosperous future for Africa, Asia, and worldwide. The G7 must act now to ensure a just and equitable transition to a clean energy future.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Elizabeth Bast is the Executive Director of Oil Change International, Tasneem Essop is the Executive Director of the Climate Action Network and Kanna Mitsuta is the Executive Director of Friends of the Earth Japan.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rich nations&#8217; leaders need to uphold their commitment to a clean and sustainable energy future.
