African nations want to increase how much money they receive from schemes that offset greenhouse gas emissions and are looking for ways to address the issue at U.N. climate talks currently underway in Egypt.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, announced modest new steps to combat climate change and promised more robust action to come, saying, “This is an emergency and I will look at it that way.”

Officials from the Group of Seven wealthy nations announced on Friday, May 27, 2022, that they will aim to largely end greenhouse gas emissions from their power sectors by 2035, making it highly unlikely that those countries will burn coal for electricity beyond that date.
