The Group of Seven (G7) has confirmed its intention to move from 2035 to emission-free new cars. This means that from then on, fossil fuel vehicles will not be produced in the G7 countries.

The countries of the Group of Seven (G7) decided to intensify the fight against climate change in order to keep the increase in the average temperature on the planet at around 1.5 degrees Celsius. This is stated in the communique of the summit of G7 leaders in Hiroshima.
The document notes that the G7 countries are not abandoning the goal of achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
We are also talking about the refusal to produce new cars on fossil fuels. The deadline for such a decision is 2035. After that, all cars sold in the G7 countries will either be fully electric, hybrid, or use zero-carbon fuel.
In addition, by 2030, anthropogenic methane emissions in the world should be reduced by at least 30% compared to 2020 levels.
The G7 consider it possible to reduce car emissions in their countries by 50% by 2035. Also, the leaders of the richest democracies in the world are convinced that by 2030 it will be possible to bring the share of emission-free cars in the world to more than 50%.
The instruments of such an environmental policy will be the promotion of appropriate infrastructure and zero-carbon fuels, including sustainable biofuels and synthetic fuels.
The G7 summit communiqué adopted annual reviews of the results achieved.
