The discussions were fraught with disagreement over the phasing out of coal and removing of fossil fuel subsidies but ministers did acknowledge the importance of the 1.5C warming limit. At the end of the talks, which ran late into the night, the summit host, Italian minister Roberto Cingolani, emerged covered in sweat, not only due to the Italian summer but also the difficulty of getting key countries to agree on the actions needed to make significant progress on <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/\">climate change<\/a>. Here a panel of experts looks at the outcomes of the discussions in Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tzeporah-berman\">Tzeporah Berman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image alignright block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tzeporah-med-res.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tzeporah-med-res.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 300px\" alt=\"Tzeporah Berman\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Tzeporah Berman (Image: Stand.earth) <\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tzeporah-med-res.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"34 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"400\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"300\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International Programme Director at Stand.earth and chair of Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of last week, the environment ministers from G20 countries met during some of the worst wildfires and flooding their countries have ever seen, yet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g20.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2021_G20-Energy-Climate-joint-Ministerial-Communique.pdf\">they failed<\/a> to encourage each other to increase ambition on climate and certainly avoided discussing the fact that they collectively sank $3.3 trillion into fossil fuels between 2015 and 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week\u2019s meeting failed to even agree on language to phase out coal, let alone oil and gas. We are now on track to produce 120% more fossil fuels than the world can burn to still keep below 1.5C warming, despite the plummeting price of renewables, technological advances in battery storage and electrification, and numerous studies that show us we can exit from fossil fuels and increase energy security.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaders are finally speaking out. Many countries have agreed to phase out coal. Denmark, Greenland, France, Spain and New Zealand have all made commitments to stop new oil and gas production. Dr Fatih Birol, the head of the International Energy Agency, recently urged the UK to reject the Cambo oil field, while John Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, called for no new fossil fuel projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citizens, cities, scientists and even the world\u2019s Nobel Laureates are starting to call for a fossil fuel treaty to complement the Paris Agreement. We need international cooperation to ensure a fast and fair global just transition. Wealthy G20 fossil fuel producers like the UK, Canada, US and Norway must lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will look back on this moment in history as either the turning point in which we came together in the face of extreme weather and growing hardship and rebuilt industrial society so that the future was safer and cleaner for our children, or the time when we still had a chance to do more than adapt but failed. The choice is ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marlene-achoki\">Marlene Achoki<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image alignleft block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marlene.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marlene-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marlene-802x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marlene.jpg 827w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 827px\" alt=\"Marlene Achoki \"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Marlene Achoki (Image: Marlene Achoki)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marlene.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"312 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1056\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"827\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Global Policy Co-Lead, Climate Justice and Resilience, CARE International, based in Nairobi, Kenya<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These talks exposed the deep divisions between G20 nations, and it is the poorest people in developing countries who are paying the price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nations failed to reach a consensus on carbon emissions and coal phase-out because coal-fired power is a major part of the energy mix in many countries.

The G20 have now accepted this mission, in acknowledging the importance of the 1.5C limit for the first time, and the critical difference in climate impacts between 1.5C and 2C of global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the world\u2019s richest economies with the largest emissions, the G20 have both the means and the responsibility to take action. Encouragingly, G20 ministers agreed to submit new 2030 climate targets (known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) before COP26. The pressure is now on China, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and South Korea to come forward with these targets. Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Australia and Indonesia must act too \u2013 their 2030 NDCs saw little to no increase in ambition, so revisions to these are urgently needed ahead of COP26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlocking the highest possible ambition from these countries before the COP will require intense and coordinated top-level diplomacy from the likes of Biden, Johnson, Merkel, Macron and Draghi. With less than 100 days to go until COP26, the two key remaining leaders-level convenings \u2013 at the UN General Assembly in September and the G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit in October \u2013 must be seized as opportunities to generate the ambition needed to keep 1.5C alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iskander-erzini-vernoit\">Iskander Erzini Vernoit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image alignleft block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Iskander-Erzini-Vernoit-Website-350x434-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Iskander-Erzini-Vernoit-Website-350x434-1.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 350px\" alt=\"Iskander Erzini Vernoit\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Iskander Erzini Vernoit (Image: E3G)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Iskander-Erzini-Vernoit-Website-350x434-1.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"25 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"434\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"350\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Policy Advisor, E3G<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The G20 as a forum is mixed.

The recent G20 Energy and Climate meetings sent a positive signal on enhancing the contribution of multilateral development banks (MDBs) to the energy transition, but providing the necessary financial firepower to shift the trillions needed will require the G20 leaders, finance ministers and central bank governors to step up on increasing MDB capitalisation while replenishing climate funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world is therefore counting on the G20 to agree in October a conclusive end to public fossil fuel finance and to offer resourcing to the international financial institutions for climate finance at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as the G7 was judged by vulnerable countries for not delivering the $100 billion, the G20 will be judged harshly by vulnerable countries if it does not deliver on ending public fossil fuel finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-luca-bergamaschi\">Luca Bergamaschi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image alignright block--article-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Luca-Bergamaschi-768x826-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Luca-Bergamaschi-768x826-1.jpg 596w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 596px\" alt=\"Luca Bergamaschi\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Luca Bergamaschi (Image: ECCO)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Luca-Bergamaschi-768x826-1.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"41 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"662\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"596\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Co-founder of ECCO, an Italian climate thinktank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate finance is an essential pillar for the success of COP26 in Glasgow and it was strongly reaffirmed in the&nbsp;G20 Climate and Energy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g20.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2021_G20-Energy-Climate-joint-Ministerial-Communique.pdf\">communique<\/a>&nbsp;agreed in Naples on Friday 23 July.
