TOKYO -- Japan is facing increasing pressure from its Group of Seven peers as the last country refusing to give up coal as the group prepares to promise coal-free power grids by the end of the 2030s.
Ahead of the upcoming environment, climate and energy ministers meeting, current G-7 president Germany reached out to other members on potentially setting a target year of 2030 for going coal-free. All members but Japan have expressed their support, though the U.S. wants the 2030s as the deadline.
