Angela Merkel considers G7 Meeting an Important Milestone on Climate Change Issue

On Sunday, Germany, the European Union and the US have encouraged their fellow G7 members to form such climate change polices that set a global example.

On Monday, the G7 leaders will again discuss the issue. On the other hand, Chancellor Angela Merkel has been facing resistance from Canada as the latter does not want that the group should push the agenda on its own.

Also, Japan does not want to end its role from use and support of coal both at home and abroad. In Saturday's video, Merkel said that December's Paris climate change conference would be able to be successful only when the G7 members will be committed to curb the rise in global temperatures to two degrees Celsius.

Merkel said she is quite clear of the things to be done in the weeks leading up to the meeting. She will write an op-ed reminding nations of the pledge taken at the 2009 climate summit in Copenhagen. As per the commitment, industrial countries will spend $100 billion per year from 2020 to adjust as per changes and protect the climate.

By 2022, Germany will phase out nuclear power. For the nation, changing to renewable energy sources has become an important issue. Jennifer Morgan, global director of the climate change program at the World Resources Institute, said, "Climate change has become more and more of a priority for the chancellor - much of her public commentary in recent days has been about the issue".

European Council President Donald Tusk said the G7 meeting will be utilized to encourage the partners to be ambitious. They have to be united to convince others to curb global temperatures.
