G7 commits to largely end fossil fuel use in electricity by 2035: statement

G7 industrialized nations Friday committed to largely end the use of fossil fuels in their electricity sectors by 2035, despite heavy tensions in the power market over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“We further commit to a goal of achieving predominantly decarbonised electricity sectors by 2035,” climate and energy ministers of the Group of Seven said in a closing statement following a meeting in Berlin.
