Against a backdrop of sandy beaches and hundreds of climate activists demanding action, the G7 released a final communique on Sunday (13 June). Efforts to combat the climate crisis feature heavily in the official document, but green groups and activists have been left disappointed at the lack of detail in plans to promote a green industrial revolution. Read the reaction here.
