G7 leaders seek global support over carbon emission reductions

Leaders of the G7 ended their two-day summit on Monday with a pledge to take action on issues ranging from climate change and world trade to the Ukraine conflict.

Agreements on the issue of climate change have drawn the most attention, with the G7 countries disappointing experts over financial support to countries for clean development.

In a joint declaration issued after the summit, which took place in the German town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the heads of state and governments of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and the United States said they would seek global decarbonization within this century.
