The G7 = Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers' Meeting of seven major countries will begin in Sapporo on the 7th. The focus will be on whether countries can come up with a consensus on a topic where there is a difference of opinion.
Decarbonization of the automotive sector is a major theme at this meeting, and while Western countries insist that targets for the introduction of electric vehicles should be set, Japan with many hybrid vehicles are cautious. European countries have requested that the timing of their decommissioning of coal-fired power generation be clearly stated.
