"G-7 leaders vowed Sunday to move away from public financing of coal projects worldwide and to make good on their long-standing commitments to help vulnerable nations bear the rising costs of climate change.

But activists who had hoped for more concrete and ambitious pledges raised a key question: Where are the details?

“This summit feels like a broken record of the same old promises,” John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said in a statement. He praised the new commitment to ending overseas investment in coal but added, “without agreeing to end all new fossil fuel projects — something that must be delivered this year if we are to limit dangerous rises in global temperature — this plan falls very short.”"
