According to Newsweek, the leaders are expected to announce new financing plans to help poorer countries reduce carbon emissions.
All G-7 nations have pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, but many environmentalists fear that timeline will be too late
Newsweek reported that Attenborough said in remarks released ahead of his address to leaders, it is "beyond doubt" that the climate is warming, and that "our societies and nations are unequal." G7 summit
"Our climate is warming fast. That is beyond doubt. Our societies and nations are unequal and that is sadly plain to see. But the question science forces us to address specifically in 2021 is whether as a result of these intertwined facts we are on the verge of destabilizing the entire planet?
"If that is so, then the decisions we make this decade - in particular the decisions made by the most economically advanced nations— are the most important in human history." G7 summit
