G-20 agrees on key climate goals around global warming limits and coal financing, but lacks firm commitments
CNN
The Group of 20's final communiqué is expected to put an end date of 2021 on the financing of coal and include language committing to keep a limit of 1.5-degrees Celsius of global warming within reach, Tom Burke, co-founder of the E3G climate think tank, told CNN.
Burke, who has been briefed on the talks, said there would be language around "accelerating action" to achieve net-zero emissions by or around mid-century. That would include an acknowledgment that countries' emissions reductions plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), over this decade need to put them on track for net zero by 2050.
CNN has not seen the draft communiqué and details of any agreement are subject to change. The final communiqué is expected to be released later on Sunday.
