In their conclusions from this weekend's summit, G7 leaders are expected to include a pledge to almost halve their emissions by 2030 relative to 2010. This will also include promises to end almost all direct government support for fossil fuels and the phasing out of petrol and diesel cars.And the G7 is also expected to commit to increasing its contributions to international climate finance to $100bn (£70bn) a year to help developing countries deal with the impact of climate change and support sustainable growth. Ahead of his address to world leaders, Sir David said: "The natural world today is greatly diminished. That is undeniable."Our climate is warming fast. That is beyond doubt. Our societies and nations are unequal and that is sadly is plain to see.<img src="https://e3.365dm.com/21/06/1600x900/skynews-g7-cornwall_5413334.jpg?bypass-service-worker&20210612201340" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Image: On Sunday, G7 leaders will again be joined by guest nations Australia, South Korea, South Africa, and India."But the question science forces us to address specifically in 2021 is whether as a result of these intertwined facts we are on the verge of destabilizing the entire planet?"If that is so, then the decisions we make this decade - in particular, the decisions made by the most economically advanced nations - are the most important in human history."The G7 is also set to endorse an agreement on halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030, including a target to conserve or protect at least 30% of land and 30% of ocean globally by the end of the decade.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has used the summit to launch a £500m fund to support countries, including Ghana, Indonesia, and Pacific island states, to tackle unsustainable fishing, protect and restore coastal ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs, and reduce marine pollution."Protecting our planet is the most important thing we as leaders can do for our people," he said.<img src="https://e3.365dm.com/21/06/768x432/skynews-carbis-bay-cornwall_5413427.jpg?bypass-service-worker&20210612221102" alt="Climate protesters march along Carbis Bay near St Ives" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Image: Climate protesters march along Carbis Bay near St Ives"There is a direct relationship between reducing emissions, restoring nature, creating jobs, and ensuring long-term economic growth."As democratic nations, we have a responsibility to help developing countries reap the benefits of clean growth through a fair and transparent system."The G7 has an unprecedented opportunity to drive a global Green Industrial Revolution, with the potential to transform the way we live."Source: news.sky.com</blockquote>
